Melissa's place was a little bit of a disappointment overall. When we arrived, the place an a musty odor to it, probably due to the damp towels that were hanging everywhere from a dryer that was out of order. When we were checked in we were given no instructions on how to work anything so we did not know how to turn the heat on. There was no thermostat to adjust the temperature on, only two heating units on the wall but we had no idea how to turn them on or adjust them. So we messaged Melissa through the airbnb app and she responded almost 24 hours later. The worst part was the noise level, it was so much worse than anticipated. The apartment is located on the first level above an alley full of restaurants, bars and local shops. On the first night of our visit, the hooting, hollering and noise from the street went until 5 AM, stopped until 6:30 and then the food delivery and garbage trucks started coming and unloading. I had to sleep with my ear buds in the ears just to get a few hours of sleep. The second night, the noise went until about 4 AM and that was on Christmas night. Trust me, if you stay here, please bring ear plugs. We spent a good bit of our time trying to find ear plugs on Christmas day so that we could get a little bit of sleep, not what we had imagined for our Christmas in Paris.
