Together with my wife, we spent one week in this apartment, which is ideally located to everything that you need: restaurants, markets, and the metro. However, that being said, the owner could have greatly improved our experience with a few simple items. Upon our arrival, we were welcomed by the cleaning lady and wet laundry that we had to wait to dry over several days. Since we were staying in this flat for one week, we were planning on cooking quite frequently during our stay. Cooking in the kitchen required one to use a great deal of flexibility and creativity. There wasn't a spatula, the knives were dull, only a small frying pan, a mini cutting board, and not even a large pot to boil water. We were not expecting a gourmet kitchen, but certainly one where you could easily make an omelette or boil pasta. Instead of providing these simple tools, the owner focused on creating rules: what you can sit on, where you should hang wet clothes, what you could touch, etc. The list of can nots provided to us read more like a scolding father rather than a person, who genuinely wants to welcome people into their home. We have stayed at other Airbnb properties and had wonderful experiences. Yes, of course, people want to make money by having people stay at their place, but the other owners actually like the idea. They wanted people to write in their guest book. They were warm and welcoming. To say that we did not get that feeling from this owner would be an understatement. Yes, the location is lovely and the apartment was fine, but if we were traveling to Paris again, we wouldn't stay at this apartment.
