This place has a great location!!! You go up a couple stairs outside the front door and look down the street and BAM! You can see the Arc de Triumphe! The front door is down a clean alleyway on the ground floor. Which is nice because you don’t have to drag luggage upstairs but it is an alleyway that people like to hang out in and smoke. There is also a safety light by the front door that turns on when it sees motion which is super helpful when opening the door at night but not so helpful when you are trying to sleep on the couch bed and someone walks by at 2am and the whole room glows and wakes you up. There were some “kinks” to the pleasantness of our stay that we feel are worth sharing: 1-this place is brand new so it isn’t well stocked with things you could need like salt and pepper and dishwasher detergent, etc. It doesn’t feel like there was a lot of thought put into things like the dishes/pots and pans/ utensils provided. 2-the day before we got there he told us there was a deposit of 1500 euros needed at check in. We thought, fine, that’s normal-ish. It is after all an option they can check in the description of their Airbnb and he did. I thought it was something that was going to happen through Airbnb. But when we get there we find out he wants it in cash! We can’t pull out that much money out of an ATM at one time! We eventually found a number for Airbnb and told them about it and they told us that we shouldn’t pay it and they also called the host and told him that he couldn’t do that either. But we had already given him 500 euros because that’s all we could get from the ATM at the time and they were going to come for the rest the next morning. But after everything was figured out, we got the money back and all was good. 3-the only way you can talk to Phillipe, the host, is through messaging him in the Airbnb app. His phone number he has for him doesn’t work. And he has a guy, maybe a rental manager or something, come and open the apartment for you and he only speaks French. So you will most likely never see or talk to Phillipe. 4-yes the kitchen looks amazing in the pictures and it also looks amazing in real life but the gas stove doesn’t work and we never figured out how to put water in the thing to make the microwave work and there are no instructions anywhere on how to use anything so you just have to guess. So, would we stay here again if we had the chance?? Probably. He was told that he couldn’t make us pay a cash deposit and the location was amazing. So if we didn’t have the stress...
