Upon arriving in Paris, we had to quickly get to the apartment since we had a walking tour within the hour. Karim was gracious enough to meet us up earlier than the usual check in time. All buildings in Paris seem to be old and with old comes the that musty smell as you walk the halls of his apartment complex. Along with that, when we open the door, there was an incredible toxic cleaning smell with hints of floral that was just overwhelming. The smell stayed there for the next two days, which was not okay. Karim went through the list of what's around the area and so on. That was a nice personal touch. I just didn't care for the last line where he tells us to clean the bathroom before we leave. I'm not one to scrub the bathroom or take out the trash when I paid a cleaning fee, but maybe that's airbnb for you or just this host. I stayed in 4 airbnb places for this Europe trip and only this one specifically asked us to clean. I found that odd. When we got back the first night from exploring, we were exhausted so the nightly routine ensued. Overall the bathroom was fine until I had to take a shower. I'm a skinny girl and it was a bit too cramp for what I am used to. I would drop the bar of soap, reach to pick it up and find myself hitting the faucet lever. It seemed to me about a 2 ft x 2 ft with a few extra inches. So if you're slightly overweight, it will not be comfortable. My husband had to shift slightly to even get into it. Not the most ideal. Also, the shower cannot be fully closed. There will be a gap that water will find its way out of to the ground. Finally, we're ready for bed. I went in knowing that it was a pull out, but it was just awful. It creaked with every movement and we could feel the metal springs. We even had to put on the linens ourselves. I don't think we slept much for the 4 days we were there. We tried getting moved to another airbnb location, but airbnb didn't get back to us until we were about to spend the 3rd night. We figured we would tough it out. Overall, not the best experience. It's a you get what you pay for type of place.
