Our first impression was an interesting one. Dumi has two AirBnB’s, both of which are number 10. No one was there to greet us and we were shocked when we knocked on the door to learn that people were already staying in what we thought was our apartment. Luckily, they were very nice and let us wait inside for someone to open our apartment for us. A man arrived shortly after who was nice and helpful, and explained everything to us.
AirBnB prides itself on service, of which this was lacking.
The room itself looked just like the pictures, yet somehow felt extremely different. Instead of feeling antique it just felt old and worn. We also learned from locals that the 19th district is not a nice area and subsequently felt uneasy in the apartment.
Everything worked though and there was nothing wrong with the room itself other then the feel.
If you are travelling to Paris for holiday and you are not European, I would not recommend this apartment. You are better off to stay in a westernised hotel in a nicer district, despite the extra cost.
