We arrived on time at the agreed rendez-vous for check in and had to wait 40 minutes on the sidewalk before Philippe checked us in. We toured the small apartment with Philippe, took some notes, and he wanted me to sign the Paris Select Apartment ( PSA ) contract so that I would be fully responsible if anything happened during my stay with a hefty penalty of 500 Euros if I lost the keys! I didn't sign. I had to explain that I rented through Airbnb and not PSA, that Airbnb was the agency here. I didn't like that he insisted. We stayed a month in October, and the upstair's apartment was in renovation so we had a lot of noise on the first two weeks.

The good news now. It is superbly located in the 6th arrondissement, walking distance of all that Paris has to offer. Lots of shop, art galleries, bistros, restaurants, supermarkets, etc... The sofa bed is very comfy and the nights were very quiet. Great kitchen area, with lots of shelves. Appart from the glitches on check in day, I would stay there again.
