I unfortunately have to give a bad to average review of this place.
Pros -
LOCATION: I specifically wanted to stay in this area because of its sentimental value to me. This is the perfect spot to simply walk around and take in the joy of Paris (the real Paris), while still being fairly close to the main touristic sights of the metropolitan area.
ELEVATOR - This being within an older building, it is quite a feat to have an elevator. Be warned, it's a very, very small elevator. If you're taller than 6 feet, you won't fit.
COMMUNICATION WITH HOST - She was the most responsive out of the many hosts I've had in a while. She made her number available to text as well, so you felt like you could always reach her. 5/5 most definitely for the communication piece.
Cons -
LACK OF FAN - Paris in the summer is especially brutal; everyone knows that. Understandably so, residences in Europe don't have central air conditioning so it's up to the host or property owner to place good fans throughout the space. This wasn't the case here. Only a VERY small fan was made available to me during the 4 night stay. The host had a thermometer inside the apartment as well - it never went below 27 degrees Celsius. That means 81 degrees Fahrenheit. I don't know of anyone who can be comfortable at night or during the day (especially) at 81 degrees Fahrenheit. This was a total miss on the host's part. Either they need to provide more small fans, or invest in a good one that actually cools down the place.
WI-FI: Simply stated, there wasn't any. How can an apartment in the city center of a major European city in the year 2022 not have Wifi? Especially when it's catered to tourists that may not have international/roaming data? For the price I payed, wifi should've been the most basic amenity to have. Truly, truly disappointed in the host's desire to save extra dollars on this.
OVERALL BASICNESS OF PLACE - No side tables next to bed, no decoration on wall, no charm. The host is using a PILE OF BOOKS to use a side tables. Again, if I hadn't paid a much for the place, I wouldn't mind. But this lacked what you expect from a nice place in a typical Hausmann Parisian building. Also, I'm glad I went by myself there, because if my husband would've joined me on the small and low bed, he would've insisted we leave the same night we arrived.
Needless to say, I won't be returning to this place. I suggest that you book this only if you're staying in Paris one night. Anyone can get through 1 night in this space. However, don't do what I did and schlep it through for 4 nights in a hot, expensive, and basic place like this.
