This apartment is in a nice location. It’s a little bit of a walk to the heart of St Germain but there are some other cafes and restaurants nearer. It’s also a quiet street which is nice.
You will notice the apartment is not as large as it appears in photos, but that’s often the case with Airbnbs, but it’s still a good size for 2 people. It’s modern and recently updated.
We happened to visit Paris during a heat wave and there wasn’t so much as a fan in the apartment. I’d actually asked for one in advance, after checking the weather online, but no luck. Since we had the windows open and no fan for air circulation, we had a major mosquito problem. We spent most of the night trying to kill them.
The other problem was that the person we were in touch with via the official Airbnb channels handed us off to someone else once we arrived in Paris. That person didn’t have access to Airbnb and only wanted to communicate via Whatsapp, which I think Airbnb frowns upon. We tried to get in touch with the official, original person, but she wasn’t very responsive. Basically, it’s best if there is just one contact and if that person can respond at least once every 24 hours to any issues.
So given how expensive this place is, we didn’t have a great experience.
