On the plus side, Victoria's apartment is clean and well located, on the charming and active Rue Cler. It is however utilitarian in the extreme. There are no signs of the owner's taste, zero charm to the apartment, no sign that anyone is invested in making it attractive. It is one bare, all white room. There is no carpet on the floor, no pictures or decoration on the wall, no pretty throw rugs, or attractive pillows, not the smallest bit of decoration, or sign of the owner's character or care. There is exactly one pillow each (no under covers for the pillows, so stains are visible), exactly one towel each, no little bottles of shampoo, conditioner soap etc, no pretty bed skirt to hide the box mattress, no coffee powder or a few tea bags for client comfort in the morning, no bedside lamp (so one has to get out of bed to turn the light off at night). As other guests note, there is no way not to wake up the dead if one flushes the unusual electric toilet during the night (sounds like a plane taking off!). In terms of value for money, the nearby hotels cost about the same or a little less in the season I was there so it depends how much one values airbnb experience over a hotel.
