This was a decent stay, but not one of my best from AirBnB. Check in was super easy. J uses a management service and they send you a detailed email with how to check-in, all of which was perfect. The apartment itself is stylish, and is in a very unique part of Paris, Goutte d'Or. If you appreciate the amazing diversity of Paris as I do, I imagine you'll like it, but if you're looking for romantic balconies with Eiffel tower views, this is not the place. I had two small issues with the place, one was that it smelled of smoke, and two was that no toilet paper was provided. Small problems to be sure, but this apartment had a very high cleaning fee, one that made my short stay a lower value proposition. At that rate, assuming a professional cleaning service, I wouldn't expect these oversights. Otherwise, a very comfortable double bed and a small but nice shower made for a perfectly comfortable stay.
Would I stay here again? I think I would if the fees came down a little bit, and some work was done to make the place feel just a little fresher and less "lived-in". This appears to be a newer listing so I think they'll sort it out.
