My first visit to Paris.. I had no idea that apartments in central Paris are so tiny. This apt seems bigger on pics, but that’s ok. I arrived late and it was so cold inside.. I wish the cleaner (who was there in the afternoon) had turned the heating on, it takes time to heat the house, but she didn’t bother. There are 2 tiny heaters under the windows and the house has two levels (the third heater is in the bathroom on the second level) and they don’t really work out. The bathroom heater needs a remote control which was supposed to be in the sink drawer but it wasn’t there. I couldn’t find it anywhere. The owner replied in the morning and the remote was finally found by his friend who came later. I turned all the heaters on max but the house was still pretty cold till the moment I left the next day.
The second issue is: there was only one roll of toilet paper in the house. I had to search for the supermarket which works until 2am in order to buy the paper. Although the owner sent me the directions of the supermarket... but I came for a business trip and didn’t have time for shopping.
3. There were no nespresso coffee capsules although he has them on photos 😂
4. Smell! Although the house is fresh and newly renovated it has a specific smell...
The owner apologized for these inconveniences. He was good in communication. But... the day I was leaving he called me at 2 pm to say “the cleaner is already there and you were supposed to leave before 12”... well... it would be nice if he had informed me about the check-out time beforehand although it was stated in Airbnb but should I remember each detail by heart!? After I suffered all these inconveniences that was too impolite to say.I would say it doesn’t worth this money but houses in Paris are overpriced.
But anyway! The experience was more good than bad. Parisian house experience is priceless. Paris is fantastic. Would definitely visit it again and not only once.
Thanks!!!
