I will start off with the good: the location is incredible, so close to the Pantheon. It was a little noisy at night due to several college bars being nearby, but we did not mind it. There are also several good restaurants nearby. The price of the Airbnb was fantastic for the area as well.
However, there were issues with the Airbnb itself. I didn’t get a response from Maxime at all prior to our arrival, which made me super uncomfortable. Additionally, Maxime did not meet us herself, it was another man that met us to give us the key. I’m not entirely sure who he was but he knew Maxime.
If you are planning to stay here, be aware that the entire apartment and building reeks of cigarette smoke. My boyfriend has bad allergies and did not feel well the entire time we stayed. The sheets and towels are incredibly old as well and the place was not clean: very dusty, gum on the rail of the loft, some concoction brewing in the fridge that smelled AWFUL, and starchy towels.
The experience could have been so much better, but we still greatly enjoyed our time in Paris.
