I hate to have to use these same words but, yes, bed bugs. As Erik said below, Matthieu really did handle the situation well, but I still have to share this experience. If you are booking this apartment, please, please, PLEASE be aware of and take these reviews seriously. My boyfriend and I are from NYC and have dealt with a bed bug situation before. We noticed the review by Erik below on our train ride to Paris, and of course reached out to Matthieu to see if the situation had been taken care of (our stay was 3 weeks after Erik's). He assured us that the problem had been dealt with but, just to be sure, upon arriving to the apartment we checked EVERYTHING. We were very disappointed to find bed bug skins in the curtains hanging above his bed, and a live bed bug on the chair in the bedroom. It seems as though Matthieu replaced the bed and bed frame, but neglected to go through all of the necessary steps to remedy the situation. We texted Matthieu about what we had found - he refunded us immediately and offered to find us another Airbnb like he did for Erik, but it was 7pm on the Tuesday of Fashion Week and the Ryder Cup - nothing was available. The next few hours were very chaotic and unpleasant. We speak very little french, and missed our evening plans attempting to find a place to stay. After booking an expensive last minute hotel, we really wished we had taken Erik's review more seriously when we saw it - it truly was a horrible situation. Like Erik said, it's unfortunate because his place is amazing, but what he put us through really wasn't fair. Matthieu has people from all over the world depending on his apartment for their stays in Paris, and it's his job to deal with issues such as bed bugs completely. He is a really sweet, professional individual, but in our case he didn't do his job. This was a really disgusting, awful start to our stay in Paris. Think twice before booking this apartment, or at the very least reach out to Matthieu and confirm 100% that the problem has been resolved. Listen to these reviews and don't let this happen to you.
