The location indeed is great, very accessible via Metro and is as small as it is advertised so we were prepared. Unfortunately our experience was not as pleasant as the rest of the reviews. It was our first ever booking with Airbnb and not accustomed to the site/coordination, very new to the process. We had no problems with our initial booking and all instructions were clear and detailed. However, for any changes in check-in time, please take into consideration the time differences as Arlette is based in NY while her caretaker is in Paris (we had booked and were coordinating from Singapore time). She is very strict with this, understandably so. We had slight miscommunication that could have been resolved EASILY but we wish it could have been handled better -- taking in consideration the flipped timezones and that it was confusing with numerous point persons. We were apologetic for delayed responses, but greeted with much hostility when it came down to it. We placed many long distance calls too which added up. The day before we arrived we had already settled the new check-in time with the caretaker, however he still arrived 6 hours later than scheduled (9:30 am was agreed, arrived at 3:30pm). Carried 20+ kg luggage up and down some very steep flights of steps, camped out at the nearest cafe by the third hour still not knowing where he was and how long it would take. It really would have been okay under the circumstance of an emergency, given any SMS/call/email, but we had absolutely no word from him. Called his partner who also had no idea where he was which in turn worried us, hence the last resort emergency call to Arlette at 5am NY time. We assumed as the main host, she would be a bit more understanding and perhaps help us find her caretaker, yet we felt very unwanted/helpless when we were told not to call again and basically just left to wait. Caretaker finally arrived, saying he got into an emergency, yet it was perplexing as he smelled of alcohol. Did a quick dusting of the place, pulled towels from his backpack and left. Airbnb was able to resolve this issue though, as we did feel the right to file a complaint, and we were refunded our housekeeping fee. We had zero problems with our Airbnb experience in Barcelona and we are really not as rude as we were painted to be. Just a bad string of miscommunication and circumstances which could have been handled better given the inevitability of these situations. All in all our Paris experience was fantastic, but for this particular Airbnb experience, not at all.
