Overall, the apartment has great potential. For us though, cleanliness is a non-negotiable and something that every Airbnb should guarantee, so when welcomed to a home which was clearly not cleaned to a good standard our score was going to reflect this. The smell of a fry-up was still fresh and further evidence was found from the very greasy stove top. Further, counters had been quickly wiped over and dishes placed in the cupboards that were not clean. It's not acceptable for guests to have to clean someone else's mess. Airbnb's Covid cleaning policies obviously a thing of the distant past. I do feel robbed when I'm paying almost 80 euros for cleaning when we don't benefit from it.
We also had to live with a resident mouse which was spotted as soon as we entered the apartment and again on another evening during our stay. The hosts sent an enterprise round when we were out but weren't able to fix the problem.
The apartment has a bathroom and separate toilet. The toilet was very small and the sink above the toilet was not very pleasant - with only a cold water timed tap. Hand soap bottle came empty! The bathroom had a shower above the bath, but the shower screen was unable to prevent a flood every time it was used.
There was nowhere to hang clothes since most of the wardrobes in the apartment were locked, obviously so the hosts could store their personal belongings, leaving only one with shelves so we had to decided against unpacking. The beds in bedroom 2 are camp beds so not very comfortable, even for our young teenagers. The living room was functional with dining table, sofa and armchair. there is a large TV which we didn't try and stereo. Again, cleaning, dusting was not to the required standard.
The location is okay, only a 25-minute walk to Eiffel and easy to get around from there. However, the apartment is right next to the train line, which is extremely noisy if you open the window, and the Zig Zag Cafe opposite is very noisy at weekends.
There is underground parking in the building which is good since the on-street parking is very expensive.
