I don't like to write negative reviews since I don't know the host's situation and mostly because I realize they've been welcoming tourists into their homes, which is no small feat. Our stay was ok, but no better than that. The apartment is well located, however in need of a few renovations and upgrades to make for a comfortable stay. The bed is small for 2, hard, low and not comfy. The 2nd bed is a futon. The bedding could also be better, the pillows are hard and lumpy. The chairs are foldable and feel shabby. The kitchen is old but functional (the microwave is antique and the fridge has trouble keeping things cool). There is no AC, which I understand is not uncommon in Paris. The apartment is on the top floor (4th) and it warms up easily - we were provided with fans. A coat rack by the entrance would have been useful, along with umbrellas. The apartment is great for 1, suitable for 2 and crowded for 3. Maybe our expectations for Paris were too great. We've stayed in quite a few Airbnb homes and this is the first time I had to write a critical review... I didn't contact the host about any of the points raised here because I didn't see the point, since none of the improvements could have been made on the spot. Overall we had an okay stay, but I expected better. Thanks!
