We had a good stay overall and recommend this apartment.
What’s great:
1. The host arranged an airport pickup for us which was super smooth and helpful. We were traveling with our 4 young children and the driver had a large car that fit us all with luggage
2. The location in Le Marais is incredible - you’re in the heart of all the best boutiques, restaurants, patisseries etc.
3. The apartment is tiny, but sleeps 6 people rather comfortably. Note that the upstairs loft ceiling is very low - you can only sit, not stand. Good for kids.
4. Good appliances: microwave, electric kettle, toaster, nespresso machine - all quite new
What can be improved:
1. The stairs to the loft are a little flimsy, there is some duct tape and other improvised reinforcement. Did not feel very safe.
2. We were missing quite a few basic items that should really be available at any Airbnb - there were no extra garbage bags, only 2 rolls of toilet paper, no dish soap, only one tablet for the dish washer, only 4 coffee pods. When asked the hosts we were told that these items are not part of the reservation. It’s really too bad since these small touches of convenience make a difference.
