Carl’s place was fantastic. As with any AirBnb, you’re bound to run into some gripes about it, but overall this place was great.
Carl is a great communicator and is very informative. A very helpful host that rivals some of the other hosts we’ve encountered on our trip.
The place is perfect for 2 people to stay in, and a great value with the washer included. There is a great entertainment system, and the place is in very close proximity to two major metro stations: Ledru-Rollin and Bastille station, which are lines 4 and 1 respectively.
We did encounter a couple times when the hot water didn’t work, but we waited it out and eventually it came back on again. We could not figure out what it was that made it stop working in the first place.
As previously stated, it is in VERY close proximity to a major street with lots of shops, cafes, restaurants, and people. As such, it does get a bit noisy at times. The building will actually shake as the metro passes underneath, and while not terribly noisy, can be a bit disruptive.
Despite those two small grievances, we believe Carl’s place was an amazing value, and gave us exactly what we needed for our stay. Extremely well equipped, a good area, and comfortable. Carl himself is very nice and is available to help with whatever you may need.
