The apartment has great views, if this is your first stay in Paris I would probably say take it, otherwise, unfortunately I cannot recommend it. The open views to the Eiffel Tower, is something to remember about your visit, but that’s all this apartment has going for it.
The check in was not allowed until 4 pm, not even leaving bags anywhere. Host was impossible to reach, as it is a company where you must be on hold for a long time. It gave our family a lot of stress as we had arrived on an early flight, had to change the Uber directions to a “luggage storage” place, I wish the host would give some directions/suggestions prior to the arrival to avoid this unnecessary hassle. I emailed host before of an early arrival they replied they would “try” to accommodate, I wish they would just say no, so we can plan ahead, and not reply on them. They were not accommodating, not even given a direct phone number of the person who was supposed to meet us at the apartment at 4 pm, we had to wait with kids outside of the apartment in the cold weather until their “secret agent showed up”.
The apartment was dated. The ventilation from smoking neighbors felt like someone was smoking none stop in the apartment. Being there with kids I did not enjoy it at all. There were mice traps under all radiators, and broken glass on the balconies from previous guests.. there was only one set of keys given, so you always must coordinate your journey out of the apartment if you wish to spend time at different locations. Used sponges in the sink in the kitchen, it all felt filthy.
The bottom line our family was able to enjoy Paris, but after being Airbnb user for several years now, we would not rebook this apartment with this host.
