Mix feelings with that Airbnb.
On the good part, the location is amazing. You in the center of Paris and close to everything. Many Cafe, restaurants and sight seeings, all in walking distance.
Apartment is small but take advance of the available space.
Some areas that disappointed us because with little effort from host could be eliminated:
- Communication: Needs improvement. House rules referred additional charges for normal or late check in during bank holidays in France and communication would follow after reservation. We got last moment notice & claim about additional 100€ fee due “Ascend Day” holiday. After many weird communications, discount offering etc, we ended up to paying 50€.
Suggestion: either increase the price to cover your extra costs in those days or communicate them to your guests early right after the reservation. It’s simple
- Amenities: Some basic amenities were missing. Like limited shampoo and no hand soap. 2 x small units of shampoo (the small ones that hotels used to provide) for 4 persons for 3 days does not look enough. All the rest like towels & linens were super ok.
- Cleanness. Not the best. Floors were not very clean. Needs some follow up on the cleaning service.
- Maintenance: apt needs some repairs to get back as it looks in the photos: shower door is missing, sofa has stains and needs cleaning, some part of the wall needs to be painted.
Nevertheless, we had great time as the location is super and we covered the missing amenities. There is a little grocery store in 20m so it was convenient.
This Airbnb with little effort from the host can be really a 5 stars by including: clear and on-time communication around additional fee charges, some basic amenities and maintenance.
