I’ll begin with the positive—location is ideal. We knew ahead from the listing there were quite a few stairs to get to the flat so we were prepared for a haul with our luggage & our host allowed us to check in early which was great! The lock on the door is tricky. The ladder to the bunk bed is a bit scary & unstable (thank goodness we’re all small & agile). We were unaware that the washer was broken so our clothes got locked in, wet & full of soap Day 1. We contacted host who said that the last guest broke it & he had yet to replace it (or update us or the listing). He did not offer help other than just to give it time & it would unlock eventually. We figured it how to get it to unlock, wrung the clothes out, put them in plastic bags & found a laundromat within walking distance. It was a hassle spending our 1st several hours in Paris doing wash & would’ve been good to know ahead of time as this was leg 2 of a 4 city tour of Europe & we chose housing based laundry facilities. Water heater is small so short showers or split them up throughout the day. There were a few food items stocked which was a pleasant surprise. Overall, we made the best of the flat. Unlike beautiful Paris, it is no frills, but we had such an amazing time in the city, we made the best of it.
