While this apartment is in a fantastic location close to the Louvre, Notre Dame and Musee D'Orsay, the lack of concern for our family safety is nothing short of reckless and irresponsible. On our first night there, the key would not lock the door, making it not possible to leave the apartment with a locked and secure door. We contacted the host and while they responded quickly via a phone call, they did absolutely nothing to fix the door, leaving a family of four with a wide open apartment for two days. I am still trying to wrap my mind around how a legit manager of an Airbnb would let this happen.
It's really too bad, because the apartment is pretty great. It is clean and updated with beautiful light and a street view. However, it was very warm, as there was only one small fan to cool down the whole apartment. The sheets on the pull out couch were also dirty making me assume there isn't much love and attention to detail happening with this place. It is also a walk up to the second floor, with a winding, uneven staircase, albeit charming, not suitable for folks with mobility issues.
Definitely book at your own risk.
