I was told by the host to write 5 star review or write nothing at all, but on hindsight I really cannot because I think I’ll be lying. Here’s my honest review. Despite the host being responsive and solved our problem of an unlocked door issue to the neighbouring unit’s apartment, it was truly a shock since none of the doors in the house can lock, and literally anyone can come over to our unit and take our things. This was a security lapse for us. I booked for supposedly an entire rental unit but it turned out to be a shared unit separated by a locked door. We saw the other Airbnb patron’s items all over in the house and it was unlocked to our side.
Instructions for check in was clear and concise and the host delivered information clearly through messages, but we were told not to use any washing or drying at all, and the cabinets were broken. The bedsheets felt old and used and the furniture felt cheap like a hostel standard.
We stayed one night as a stopover so it was bearable but I cannot imagine staying longer than a few days. Even though the location was perfect, I would rather spend a train fare and stay somewhere nicer on the outskirts of Paris.
Oh and one more thing, the noise from the street level is legit noisy because the apartment is on the 1st floor above ground level.
