Overall we had an okay stay at this place but there are a few things you need be aware of before booking this place:
1. The walls are thin so you’ll hear EVERYTHING that’s happening in the unit above. There was also loud construction outside that started at 8am.
2. Communicate with the host well in advance about your arrival time because he does not use a lockbox for the key.
This means you should promptly inform your host if your flight is delayed or if your travel plans change because he will need to move his schedule to meet you at the door. If you don’t let him know on time, you have to wait until midnight to get into your Airbnb.
3. The apartment is far away from the main tourist attractions. It’s about a 25-30 min train ride to the Eiffel Tower and a 15 min train ride to most places. You also need to walk through a busy street each time you leave your Airbnb which can be intimidating for solo travelers.
4. The stairs to the loft are poorly constructed and tricky to climb.
