Reasons why I would not recommend booking this place:
1. As a foreigner, the last thing you would want to worry about is whether or not you’ll have access to your Airbnb when you arrive. The host did not respond to my questions about the flat shortly after booking his home (two months prior). I followed up again a week before arriving; also asking for check-in details. He responded but did not provide me with check-in details. I followed up again three days before arriving. Then again two days before. He finally responded the day before we arrived to Paris with check in details.
2. The host did not tell us that the flat is under renovation. After multiple delays, we arrived to the flat just before 10 at night. We had to walk up six flights of stairs in the dark. There entire staircase was covered in dust due to renovations and was very slippery. When we got to the fifth floor, there was a large ladder blocking the staircase going up to the sixth floor. We had to go around the ladder (which wasn’t even securely placed) which was just leaning against the window to get to our flat. By the time we got to the sixth floor, our luggage and jackets were covered in dust. This is a serious health and safety issue.
3. There was not enough hot water for two people to shower and the flat was cold throughout the night (even with the heater turned on).
