We have stayed in airbnb rentals for many years all over the world and have never encountered a situation where we are challenged as to whether the toaster is working or the iron has a dangerously frayed cord. The host kept insisting that these appliances were in working order. Also, we have always been provided with trash bags rather than told that we need to buy our own. I could not find a knife that would cut fruit. The host sent her son to determine if the toaster and iron were in working order. Of course, they were not and he brought us his toaster (which needed cleaning) and his iron to use. I would definitely never make a repeat stay here nor recommend this property to anyone.
Despite all of the problems we absolutely loved Paris and are returning next June.
