I'm guessing like a few others, I decided to take the bad reviews with a grain of salt as the pictures and location seemed nice. Unfortunately my check-in process was not smooth. I came to the key pick-up location (laundromat) at 3pm and the keys were not there. I tried calling but the number associated with the account is just a waiting line with the management company which no one ever answered. I was messaged 40 min later and told I had to go to another location further away to retrieve the keys. This was very inconvenient with all my bags and I didn't end up getting into the Airbnb until 5pm. For short stays in Paris-- this will definitely eat into your time running around. When I asked further questions about the exact apartment door the agent just copied and pasted the Airbnb description several times-- which was unhelpful. The apartment is located on the top floor of the building and directly to your left off the stairs just fyi! There isn't an elevator but I did not mind. I read in other reviews the host offered to buy drinks or accommodate check-in mishaps but that didn't happen for me.
I'd recommend staying at an Airbnb where you can interact with the host directly to better retrieve the keys and not an agent for a management company. I stayed for 3 nights and throughout my stay, including my first full day, the agent kept messaging me when I would leave and if I left early to please let them know. This made me feel unwelcome. This was my first time taking a gamble with a mgmt company and my first poor experience using Airbnb. I definitely prefer the direct host experience. The shower, kitchen, and windows are nice but it didn't include basic necessities like toilet paper, coffee pods, and laundry detergent for use. I also found hair in the bed. Other than that, it was a good location close to metro/bus with great restaurants, shops, and grocery stores. There's also construction happening directly behind the building which starts at 8am which I wasn't forewarned about so it wasn't a quiet stay for me but may change in the future. So as much as I wanted to enjoy it's cute aesthetic I just left feeling ripped off-- not worth the price. I'd recommend another spot or even a hotel which can be cheaper and more direct/straightforward process.
