if you are looking to stay in an apartment that is a step above a youth hostel that you found a good fit. This was by far the worst AIRBNB property I ever stayed in.
1- Front door of the building does not close properly. Security Risk
2- The host advertises 1 1/2 bathroom. There are two very small rooms, one is shower and sink and the other is toilet and sink. The room with the toilet is on the middle of a staircase so be carful exiting. The one with the shower is very small and there is a glass door that opens into the shower. The issue is the shower head prevents you from opening the door. If you weigh over 180 lbs you will have difficulty getting in.
3- host advertises 3 flight walk up. Thats to the apartment door and you have one flight to the living room and one to the bedroom so count on five flights.
4- There was a leak in the roof and they put a garbage can to catch the water. The drip of the water made it difficult to sleep and when we contacted the host we were told to put a bathmat there to stop the sound. There were 3 towels for three people, no hand towels and 1 kitchen towel.
5- The biggest problem was that when you run the shower the apartment fills with a very strong sulfur smell. I don't know if it's from the drain or where it's coming from but at no time during our week stay and numerous text message did they offer any assistance. The response was always we are trying to get in touch with a technician or the syndicate but at no time did anyone help. The apartment smelled like rotten eggs the entire time and it made our clothes and hair smell also. (Not enjoyable to go around Paris smelling like eggs).
We tried on numerous occasions to discuss with Habitat Parisien and requested refund. They would not answer our request or AIRBNB customer service. I would never stay in one of their apartments again.
The best part of staying in this apartment was leaving it. Buyer Beware
