First it helps to know someone broke into the apartment on the first night and stole all of our cash along with a brand new Iphone.
The apartment is not a family location. It is in the LGBT section of Paris on narrow street next to a tattoo parlor and down the street from a men's gay pub that was crowded and loud. The entryway is simply shabby appearing. Our host initially sent the wrong lock code and a picture of the wrong apartment that was in a much nicer location than our. We had to stand outside with our bags while we waited for our host to respond which most certainly contributed to our being identified as targets. In side the flat was cramped, spartan, with very cheap furniture. There is a small square sitting table with two broken chairs that had uneven legs and two small very low sitting plastic stools. The mirror the closet door was cracked. The toilet seat was not attached. The basement bedroom/bathroom is tiny with two very low single beds that have broken slats made of what appears to be balsa wood and the mattresses would protrude through at the ends and when my son (who is not obese) laid on the bed the slats separated and mattress fell to the floor.
Eric the host did refund the remaining nights of my stay but charged me for the first night. Obviously this was the worst Airbnb experience I have ever experienced and ruined our Paris vacation.
