I don’t have really an issue with the location and the Bnb. Me and my wife decided to save money and go with something affordable in Paris. We found this Bnb and from the pictures seemed like it would do it’s purpose.
Here are the Pros: the stay was cost effective, the building felt relatively safe despite the neighborhood, Nicolas was easy to reach, had a working mini fridge, and the Bnb was close to the train station.
Cons: Hot water wasn’t always available, sheets on bed didn’t look clean (hair was on the sheets and it looked slept in), dirty neighborhood.
Now, I would normally leave my review at that however I do have one complaint. On our first night at the Bnb, we wanted to take a hot shower after a long day of travel. The shower was not producing hot water so we messaged Nicolas and he responded inappropriately. First he seemed to imply that I was lying about the hot water not working. And then he accused me of being too weak to turn the shower knob. We felt very insulted by the way he was speaking with us. (I have videos and messages of our incident) The issue seemed to be coming from a lack of hot water in the building or water heater? So throughout our trip we resolved to take really short showers, as it happened every night of our stay.
