My family and I (total of 14, 10 adults and 4 kids) were here to celebrate my mother and father’s birthdays. We thought it was a steal to stay in city center for the amount we paid. However, as they all say, you get what you pay for. Communication from the beginning seemed ok and we thought the host was flexible. I should have been more clear on my end, but this is my first time traveling with my infant and I should have made more effort (than normal) to clarify times. We vaguely initially agreed to check in early and check out early. The first red flag was that we weren’t able to check in early at all, but three hours afterward. We said we would arrive at 10am, but weren’t able to really be there until 1pm. The host didn’t communicate back with me about this. When we arrived, the cleaner was till cleaning. We didn’t mind and chose to be flexible about the check in time. Unfortunately the same flexibility was not extended to my family by a mere 30 minutes when we checked out. The host was upset we weren’t out of the house exactly at 8am. I unfortunately didn’t have the best cell and data service either. That morning, my brother in law had a small accident that delayed us from leaving exactly by 8am. The host came into the home, began removing sheets and pillows from my parent’s bedroom. Everyone was still finishing up cleaning and heard the both of us exchange words. It was embarrassing. He began to yell at me about the check out times and communication, then also yelled and asked if the sheets used underneath a pillow was clean or not. I wasn’t sure, but assumed no. When the host frustratingly questioned why we used so many sheets, I simply answered that his pillows are extremely flat and uncomfortable. My parents may have needed to use the sheets for more height and comfort on the pillows. The host began to say words in French that I assume probably weren’t too kind. He loaded up the washer with sheets from my parents room, and then I am assume he left the house (without saying anything). During that time, he also took two sets of the three keys. Because he didn’t communicate this, my family and I searched for the keys and couldn’t find them. When the host finally communicated back, we left the house around 8:30am. We could have been gone even earlier and he mentioned this. We were delayed to the airport and barely made our flight in time. My sister lost her carry on during the security check, due to us being in such a rush. The most confusing part also is that the host would also use the Airbnb messaging and his phone texts for messaging. My Airbnb messages were delayed so I preferred phone texts. However the host would use both but then text and tell me to message him on Airbnb. It was confusing on how to exactly communicate. Aside from that, some amenities mentioned should be edited or taken off this listing entirely. We had a big family and 4 kids under 3 years old. This meant a lot of laundry. The washer and dryer was what sold us on booking this place. Unfortunately, the dryer doesn’t work well at all. I had to restart it 5-10 times for my own loads. If we forgot to restart it or were out and about, the clothes would end up smelling wet and mildew like. I had to redo several loads of laundry and then let it air dry. This was pretty inconvenient. The appliances and quirks in the home were ok, but it would be convenient to have a booklet for easy to use instructions for ALL guests. The host had books of manuals that seemed intimidating. I just need to know which button is “start” on the washer and etc. Also, an easy to use booklet can have info about the WiFi, how to open and close the front door and gate, garbage/recycling info, and how to feed the cat, and more. All of this info was given only to me and my sister in law when we first arrived, and I was extremely jet lagged. It’s easy to forget this info. There are two basement bedrooms and a basement bathroom. These areas capture more moisture and can smell like mold. Also some of the sheets, blankets, and pillow cases smelled like the wet laundry that wasn’t dried properly (probably due to the dryer). Not sure either about the home itself and its bug situations, but if windows are left open, lots of mosquitos will definitely creep in and leave itchy bites all over. So keep them shut. This also must be a France Airbnb thing, but the host does not provide toilet paper beyond the 3-5 rolls we had once we arrived. That was different from Airbnbs I’ve stayed at in the US. The best thing about the home was how close it is to line 7Bis, Danube station. Once my family figured out how to use the subway, we were able to get anywhere and everywhere in Paris. It was so much fun. The station is minutes away from the house. We also loved the toys in the home. The kids truly appreciated it. Emmanuel also gave us an air mattress for the toddler girls to sleep on. There was a pack and play that he also gave us, but it was way too old/used and uncomfortable for my son to use. I ended up sharing a twin bed with my son instead. The dishes and towels provided were very convenient. Overall, you’ll definitely save a ton of money by staying here. But it’s a BIG gamble. If anything goes wrong, the host may get extremely upset. If I could do this over again, I would stay somewhere else that was more clean...
