The place is ok. If you are two there is not much place to put more than 2 suitcases . Not meant for a long stay. Few days is ok. Location is prime. Lots of restaurants and few mins walking distance to the mall and the notredame cathedral. Jacuzzi is nice but but not big enough for 2 people comfortably . Please note the following so it can help you prepare:
• Beware , even though there is a elevator you still have to go up 25- spiral steep stair to the unit. It was so hard with heavy luggage as I felt my hand was coming of my socket !
• There is coffee but no coffee cups . Told the host and they didn’t bring any cups. They have wine glasses and one water glass. so we had to use the water glass for coffee! You cannot go out and buy ceramic cups unless you pay for a big bundle of paper cups which is useless and bulky to carry around. Paying so much and not having these essential things is not great.
• Apartment is cold. Its central and it can get to around 16-17 degrees when its cold outside and the heat wont turn on until after October 15 or something . There is also no individual electric heaters inside like other airbnb we have been. So you have to wear warmer clothes or tuck in the bed ! Don’t bother turning up the thermostat, it wont do anything! In fact it will make it colder !
• No towel warmers
• No clothes hangers or closet. They have a small pipe to hang clothes , but whats the point without hangers ? Buy that too ?
• They have bluetooth speakers installed but wont give you the pin for it saying it bothers the neighbors . I mean we can keep it lower volume . Then why install one ?!
• No mirror above sink so you have to walk behind it for a mirror. So some tasks like shaving at the sink is harder
• There is no place to really put your toiletries. Theres a toilet but not a space under sink. So you have to put it on the floor or on the thin divider. And then whenever you open the toilet door it can be knocked down.
• Best not open the windows as we had like 3 or 4 mosquitoes inside which bothered during the night. I had to kill them .
• There is no english channels or news channels . There is reuters english news which works on and off with channel issues. But it repeats the same news every hour ! It would be nice if they had orange cable which has some english news channels like in our other Airbnbs in paris .
All in all you are paying for location and the mini jacuzzi and the Love in Paris blue neon lights :)
