This AirBnb is very conveniently located. We were able to walk to Louvre and historical Paris, which was essential during the strike for the lack of Metro Line 4 (closest metro line but suspended during our stay), a lot of restaurants nearby.
We got to meet Gillian. In the beginning we had some miscommunication about check in time. The post has the check in time at 3pm, but we were told that we were not able to check in till 5pm. My son had fever and we were really in need of getting him settle down to rest and would have liked to check in ASAP. Gillian let us leave our bags in the apartment early and let us in before even 3pm to let my son rest. So it all worked out at the end despite some very stressful communication beforehand. We were very thankful.
This place is very old. I like how the host keeps the place clean and organized with some personal touch. The downside of this place is that there was no soundproof. You can hear every single sound going on in the stairway and outside. I was a light sleeper and had a miserable three nights. But this was not the host's fault. But i still want to point that out in case someone else is like me. As someone else pointed out, the heater was RIGHT next to the toilet. You would be touching the heater while using the toilet. I had to use a towel over my leg so not to get burn. Just a tip for those needed.
