My family and I (3 adults 2 young children) stayed here for 4 nights, and it was okay. Short review - sewage smells, not clean (used underwear found), terrible host communication; but good location, clean linens, comfortable space.
Long review - when we arrived we were told that we would receive our key to check-in via the reception desk. However, to get to the reception desk you need a code to enter the building which we had not been provided. Not a huge issue, as a simple call to the host number and the building manager came to meet us. But the apartment is on a busy street so trying to manage two young kids and figure out if we had missed something wasn’t the best. When we did meet the building manager he explained to us that there was an issue with the prior guests and that the plumbing was in bad shape. He said he would get it fixed but asked us to return later that night. We did with no problems, however for our entire visit the apartment had a slight smell of sewage which was quite unpleasant. I had also messaged the host twice prior to our arrival asking to use the baby crib/cot that was including in the listing. But they never replied. So I asked the building manager when we arrived and he said he would make sure one was including when we returned later in the night. Unfortunately, I think with the plumbing problems he must have forgotten, or maybe it was already being used because we were never provided one. Because of that we had to double up on sharing beds which we weren’t hoping to do. The apartment also was not very clean (again maybe because of the plumbing issue there wasn’t time?), but the floors were pretty dirty and we found a pair of underwear (not ours) in one of the bedrooms. On our last night the plumbing stopped working, so I messaged the host. Their reply was ‘Hello, It worked from the start, it's up to you to find a plumber I have no solution’. I’m not an avid user of AirBnb, I think this is my 4th stay, but I was pretty taken aback by this. I’m not sure if this is common for guests to be responsible for issues like this? Also, it wasn’t working from the start because we couldn’t check-in at the scheduled time due to it still being fixed. Either way, thankfully it started working again about 5 minutes later.
With all the negatives above, honestly the space was comfortable for all of us (without the smell). But we really only just slept in it, as it is in good location and we stayed very busy each day. It’s about 20-30 minutes from all the major locations in Paris, and is very close to a metro station.
In the end, I don’t think I would return to this location. Primarily because of the poor host communication and fear of possible plumbing issues.
