We booked this accommodation based on all the positive reviews but we were disappointed with our stay. The cleanliness of the place was our biggest problem. There were spiderwebs all over the ceiling, particularly over our heads where we slept and it looked like they hadn't been cleaned for a while. The bathroom smelt moldy and also the red bed cover looked like it hadn't been washed in a while. We addressed this with the host at the end of our stay and he didn't even offer an apology which was disappointing as he was very friendly when we checked in. We feel it was very unfair that the cleaning fee was still charged despite the place being unclean.
Additionally when the weather is warm there is no option but to keep the only window open to ensure that the place doesn't get too hot and is ventilated. However if you have an issue with smoking this is a problem because the smell of smoke from the neighbors will often come through the window.
On a positive note, the location is really great and walking distance to many lovely places in the Marais area. And despite being close to a busy road it was very quiet.
I hate to write negative things in these reviews but feel that not enough people are honest in their reviews, particularly if their hosts are friendly. But this is unfair to others who book their accommodation with false expectations.
