Gaspard’s Airbnb is in a WONDERFUL location. So close to so many restaurants and shops. We were able to go to a new place every day of our visit. Such an experience to immerse yourself in that part of the city as it was our first time in Paris!
Check in was relatively easy and Gaspard was quick with his communication whenever we reached out to him.
Transparently, this place could use a paint job. I’m sure it looked like the photos advertised when it first opened, but you can tell a lot of people have stayed in his units.
It also took me by surprise that furniture was not the same as the photos advertised, as I booked our specific room for the functional desk to work and the large dining table. We got a console table and smaller dining table instead.. didn’t really get to do much work there. You can go to Frenchie next door to work and enjoy a latte though!
We booked this Airbnb for these reasons which didn’t really meet our standards..
- Wifi: was super slow.
- A/C: this is not central air and is fixed at a certain temperature so you can not adjust to make it cooler.. which sucked when we visited as it was 90+ degrees.. I experienced getting a heat rash in the middle of the night.
- Laundry: super small washer and dryer in the basement of the residence. The dryer often turned off and it overall took 4-5 hrs to do our 2 small loads of laundry. We edited up hang drying most things on the stairs in the room.
- Large shower/bathroom: It’s an attempt of the fancier showers where the water is supposed to drain in a designated area of the floor.. there is no incline at all. Meaning the water from the shower goes *all* over the bathroom ground. Which is probably why the bathroom walls are peeling at the bottom and has dirt stuck under the cocking. He has put a large mop in the bathroom for you to pull the water back.. which isn’t necessarily what I’m trying to do when I’m showering on vacation.
Overall we roughed those things out and enjoyed our stay for 3 nights. If the above doesn’t bother you or your visit is any other time than the summer hot months I’m sure it’s a great time.
