A cute and quirky apartment, in reasonable walking distance of Montmatre. We really appreciated the comfortable bed, window shutters and black-out curtains. Also, Alister's super quick replies to all our communications.
However, lots of things didn't quite match the Airbnb description at the time of our booking.
No wardrobe space or hangers (a polite notice on the wardrobe not to open it). No kettle. Not that we needed the washing machine, as we were only staying one night, but it already had a load of washing inside. The door to the ensuite washroom got stuck when I used it. My husband helped me to slide it open, after a minute or two trying. After this, we decided to leave it open.
The listing said there were wine glasses, but we couldn't see any. There were some plastic drinking tumblers but nothing else that we could find.
The apartment was quite quiet at night, which was brilliant. But some heavy construction work going on nearby when we arrived - with a pneumatic drill. Finally, the listing talked about a self-check in with a lockbox, but in the event Alister arranged for us to meet with his neighbour as our train was running late.
I think this is a great place and brilliant if you want somewhere to sleep that is relatively central and very reasonably priced. But with the various notes around the place not to open this window and this wardrobe etc., it felt like we were crashing at a friend's house, rather than feeling relaxed to enjoy the space.
