This apartment is ok if you plan on spending little time in it. Description implies a large living/kitchen space accommodating 4 people. Really it’s a corridor not comfortably seating 4.
Host required a €500 security deposit through a 3rd-party website. This seemed dodgy and against AirBnb policy. We requested to pay via AirBnb instead.
Apartment was clean apart from black mould on all ceilings and walls, & musty smell throughout - daily airing didn’t help. Bathroom window in shower was mouldy, rusty & gross (didn’t look like the photo).
Other issues:
⁃ Lack of basic supplies: oil, salt, pepper, laundry detergent, broom (basic courtesy)
⁃ Neighbour noise
⁃ Wifi issues
⁃ Windows between bedrooms covered by black trash bags. Back bedroom had no natural light & was stuffy. Listing photos show glass in windows
Positives: good access to metro, Gare du Nord & Gare de l’Est. Franprix downstairs was convenient.
Overall, would not stay again.
