This is a long, honest review!
The flat is less than 2 mins to get to the metro for sightseeing. Supermarkets just down the road as well. Location was a bit dodgy, prostitution if I’m being honest. The flat itself is renewed but the building is very old.
I’m an active person, but I must say walking 6 floors up was tiring, especially carrying a luggage as well so I don’t encourage if you consider yourself unfit.
Moreover, the reason the shower wasn’t shown in the listing is because it’s extremely small. I’m 5’0 and size 6, and I struggle to move around the shower! First night in, I decided to sleep off all the negative points about the flat/location. After 2 hours of sleep, the neighbours were having a party, singing with microphones in full volume for 2+ hours straight, that was 3am in the morning!! We were forced to wake up at 3am and leave the flat at 5am half awake because I couldn’t stand it anymore.
I wouldn’t consider the flat “sparkling clean” either, the sheets weren’t the best of quality as I had a rash not longer after my first night in. Spots around my leg, so does my partner.
I spoke to the host the above points, he was very responsive and nice over the phone, checking up on us as well. However I must admit this is one of the worse Airbnb experience. I have stayed in many luxurious flat before and wanted to try out a legit Parisian lifestyle. Guess it wasn’t for me.
