I'll start with the pros of our stay however should you be tempted to stop reading because the comments are lengthy, I'll recap to say that that the cons of this place outweigh the pros and I would probably not recommend a stay here.
The Pros:
•	The location is great. As others said, close to the metro, lovely cafés nearby and really offers the sights and sounds of Paris. Bonus: it’s super walkable to the Eiffel Tower.
•	The communication with Guest Adom was generally good. They were attentive and answered all questions before our stay. They were even accommodating when we requested to check-in early.
•	The apartment is a good size.
•	The area felt safe and the building felt secure.
The Cons:
•	The space is not equipped to be a rental. It feels like the host does the bare minimum to consider it one. The owner’s stuff is everywhere. While we appreciate a bit of character and personality during our stay but this flat feels like someone is actively living there. We felt uncomfortable being in someone else’s space who has their personal belongings around; there is no proper wardrobe with hangers, very few towels, not enough hand soap, etc…
•	What was most important to me, is this place is not at all child friendly. The windows are not secure and the apartment is on a high floor. There were loose cords everywhere, scissors in plain sight, an unlocked liquor cabinet at a low level and pills accessible in the bathroom that my toddler found in drawer. The listing for this property did not say it wasn't suitable for kids and no one mentioned it throughout all my conversations before our stay even though I made it clear we were traveling with a child.
•	On the second day we attempted to do laundry and using the washing machine caused the shower drain to back up with dirty water which smelled like sewage. We were asked to cease using the washing machine and take our laundry to a laundromat. The bathtub was left really gross after this and we had to request someone come to clean it. The earliest they could coordinate a plumber for was two days later which was around when we were checking out anyway.
•	We were two adults provided with only one key fob and one key. This was a problem for us; it made it hard to make separate plans and forced us to make arrangements based on who had the key.
•	During our stay the local Guest Adom contact only communicated via a messaging app. We would’ve preferred the security of remaining on the Airbnb platform especially given we had an issue and Airbnb wouldn't have had any visibility to our conversation if needed.
