We stayed for 8 nights at Louise's place and can provide a detailed feedback. Overall the place is average and priced higher than what its worth.
Good things -
- The place is located walking distance from Gare du Nord. we were there in 15 mins walk.
- The connectivity is pretty good with metro station and bus stop very near. there are many supermarkets walking distance which is again a plus.
- Communication with the host was very good. Louise is very responsive.
- the balcony is great, you can relax there after end of a tiring day.
Not so good things -
- The locality is not at all good. we felt a bit unsafe, walking in the neighboorhood. there are hardly any good pubs in the vicinity. you need to walk for 15 mins to Montemarte hill to get something decent.
- although the host charged us extra for cleaning (more than what we paid thru Airbnb), the quality of cleaning was very poor. there were ants in the kitchen and the floor was also not mopped. We had to clean the house ourselves.
- the house had ample storage but all was filled with host's stuff and we had to live out of the luggage for 8 days. the host only provided us with a tiny little storage, which was not at all sufficient.
- the street is very noisy, it was very difficult to sit in the living room with windows open. the house next door put its TV on full volume, to make it worse.
We went to this place with an infant and would not recommend this one for families. Its price is well above its worth.
