Overall, this Airbnb deserves 5 stars. I booked it because of the great ratings, and I now understand why it is rated so high. Bravo, Roumen - for providing such an outstanding Airbnb for visitors to Paris. If I choose to stay in an Airbnb during my next time in Paris, I would wholeheartedly stay at Roumen’s again. More details on why below:
Roumen was communicative starting a few days before my stay, when he sent over very detailed check-in/stay instructions. Check-in was a breeze as a result, I followed the steps provided and was in the unit within a couple minutes.
The apartment is quite small, but for me (traveling solo) it was perfectly ample. I also was not in the apartment very much except for late evenings/sleep.
Shower had great pressure/hot water. There was an excellent assortment of bathroom products (cotton swabs, cotton pads, etc.) which I appreciated. Shower/sink are separated from the toilet, which is in its own “vestibule” on the other side of the main room (the washing machine is also located in the vestibule).
The “kitchen” takes up one small wall and was so well stocked - pots/pans, cutlery, plates/cups, paper towels, etc. There was a small fridge and coffee maker/electric kettle. Despite the small size, you could probably cook a meal with all the kitchenware.
Sofa bed was comfy both as a sofa and a bed. Easy to pull it out and put it back in. Wi-Fi was fast. I had a bit of trouble getting the TV working but didn’t bother to ask Roumen as I had my laptop.
Really appreciated the small washer in the unit, was great to be able to wash some clothes before heading out. Note that it only washes (does not dry).
Location is unbeatable. You’re in the heart of Paris, across from the Bristol hotel and just a few minutes away from the Miromesnil station. Was able to get all over Paris within about 20 minutes via train or walking.
