I have never left a bad review in my life, this would be my first. - When I check in I realize while I unlock the door by standing outside I can see through the gap into the studio flat. The second thing I saw is that the distance between the toilet and the bed is less than 40cm, not to mention there’s no toilet cover (I was taught as a little girl to cover before flushing the toilet), I was immediately disgusted by the situation, not to mention there is a lot of stains in the shower, which I try to use a sponge to scrub it off but the stains are permanent.
The first day I took a shower, the hot water ran out within three minutes, I cannot even rinse off the conditioner, I tried to mention to the host but she said the water tank should be enough for one person to be used for one hour. I did a few experiments on the next few days, timing myself in the shower, I am correct the water literally ran out within three, maximum four minutes. I do not want to get sick so I have to book myself at a salon on the third day just to wash my hair, that cost me €39 (not cheap). Bring your own towel, the given one is dirty, I have to use it as a hand towel instead.
Also, you can hear your neighbors next-door with all their conversation, yelling or even crying, and there’s that one neighbor next-door who has been using the microwave quite often, I would say at least an hour to two hours, which is more than 10 times a day. Yep you can hear it clearly!
I would not recommend a girl traveling alone to book this place, the gap at the door is truly an issue, as I don’t feel safe. I spoke to Airbnb support, they are NOT helpful at all, saying that the host has fixed the toilet cover and asked whether I’m satisfied, sure if that’s what you called a satisfaction, I can’t be bother to reply anymore.
The only compliment is that the Wi-Fi is stable (basic requirement) and the host did send the guy from the concierge to fix the toilet cover on the second day.
This is truly the worst living condition I could possibly imagine in my lifetime.
I have “made a video” before checking out to show the living condition to my family, and friends who are born and raised in Paris, they were shocked by the fact that this kind of studio exist in Paris.
I hate to leave a bad review, but there is no way after experiencing four nights there could turn out into a positive feedback.
Good luck
