The location of Irene's place is the highlight of the Airbnb, with a fifteen-minute walk from the Notre Dame and the Louvre, and multiple restaurants in the surrounding area. It’s very close to a train station, making it easy to get to and from the airport. The neighborhood is very lively throughout the night, which is great if you're looking for an active nightlife however, it can be difficult to fall asleep. Despite the noise, I felt very safe in the area. The walls are particularly thin so not only can you hear the people outside, but also the upstairs neighbors and the people walking up and down the stairs. I had no issue contacting my host and she was overall very responsive. The apartment appears to be newly renovated, which caused an accumulation of little inconveniences that made a difference to my stay such as,
- tv being disconnected with too short of cable for me to hook up
-washing machine having parts left in it and was concerned It was not operational
-No drying rack and lack of hooks
paint, tiles, and other renovation supplies being left in a kitchen cupboard
-Windows needing repair upon arrival and having to have a maintenance man come in(which I agreed to, after being asked by my host)
-No house instructions ie: garbage/recycling disposal, check out process, etc...
-Lack of storage
With the minor inconveniences taken care of this is a great place to stay in a wonderful neighborhood.
