Things to know:
- apartment is very good for Paris and well-worth the price (100 eur/night for short stays at the time of writing)
- this is somebody's actual place, not an empty apartment turned rental.
- district is neither gentrified nor touristy. It is safe. Can be a good way to experience real-life Paris.
- access to transportation is fair (10~15m away from a major hub: Montparnasse)
- the rental is managed by a third-party: HostNFly. Communication with them was smooth. You do not need to provide any extraneous information though. Remember: AirBnb is your provider and make all arrangements for you. You don't need to provide any extra information beyond that.
- Apartment has an HD, wide-pan camera with audio and night-vision capabilities. It covers the entrance and the dining area, also part of the kitchen area. The more private areas are not covered by the video feed.
