In short: If you’re looking for a comfortable stay, this place is definitely not for you, but if you don’t care about the comfort and only want to enjoy the proximity of historical center, it might work. It’s a bit dusty, old place, very tiny (which is not uncommon in the historical center of Paris), with personal stuff of the owner in it. Not fully “rental unit” if you got used to that type of Airbnb listings.
Details: Unfortunately, my experience with the host was not pleasant. Tibault informed me only the day before my arrival that the toilet was out of service, and said that they had another one “which is even better”. What he didn’t mention is that it was a shared toilet in the corridor with numerous apartments. When I expressed my disappointment upon arrival, he didn’t offer no partial refund neither anything complimentary. I’m a hostess myself and consider this a poor treatment of a guest.
Check-in was hard, and somewhat of a real quest: the unit is on the 6th floor (technically 7th), and there’s no elevator in the building (and the stairs are really steep, so if you have luggage or a stroller, think twice). This is a pretty old building which is very poorely maitained, no numbers on the doors, and we couldn’t find the light. Be sure to have your phone charged.
On the nice side: the mattress was comfortable, linens are nice and clean, and the views are beautiful. But I don’t personally think that it’s worth the price I paid for our stay.
