The location is absolutely unbeatable! Centrally located and right next to so many fantastic restaurants, bars, and cafes. It also was so close to so many train stations so getting around to other parts of the city was extremely seamless. The place itself was great for two people in terms of space.
At the same time, there were some considerable drawbacks to this place that will keep me from booking again. First, as I've noticed others have mentioned, the communication was not great. When initially booking, I wrote a message stating that I would be arriving early at 1pm and requested to have my luggage be stored until check-in. I was told that if we text 5 minutes prior to our arrival, the housekeeper will be there to take our luggage. So after arriving to Paris at 1pm, I sent a message saying I am an hour from the apartment and another message when I was 30 minutes away just to give some additional notice. I did not receive any reply and was getting worried that I have not heard from the hosts about any information regarding luggage storage - or even anything about the check-in process for that matter! I texted and called the host but no initial response. As someone with all of their belongings standing outside on the street with no information about when or how to get into the unit, you can imagine I was stressed! Luckily after around 3-4 minutes Lyron finally reached back out to me with all the information regarding check-in. So it ended up being fine and I didn't have to wait outside for too long, however, it is frustrating how I had to reach out across multiple platforms (Airbnb + text) and multiple times before getting check-in information. Similarly, I did not receive any information about check-out until after I had messaged twice on Airbnb and 3 times on text. So, in general the response time (indicated as 1 hour on Airbnb) felt slightly inaccurate. Perhaps it is more accurate to say their response time is within 2 hours.
Aside from the communication, the bathroom door did not shut fully so water would spill all over the floor. Thankfully there was a bathmat there to pick up the spill but it wasn't ideal of course. We also felt that apartment got very stuffy at times, so in agreement with a previous review, 1 fan was not enough.
The final note is that the security in the building was questionable. Once you enter the main building door, there is a narrow hallway and then a gate (which requires tap access) to get into the stairwell. The main door would always be closed, but unlocked, so that when we would come back to the apartment we could just push the door open without using a key. Overall this wouldn't be a big deal considering there was a secondary door that required a fob to get in, but on our last night we opened the main door and found a homeless woman inside laying down in the hallway between the main door and the gate. We had to step over her to get into the stairwell while she asked for help/assistance from us. It was extremely uncomfortable and I was afraid she would somehow get into the gated area and follow us.
With all of this said, I recommend not booking this unit if security and excellent communication from hosts are at the top of your priority list. Otherwise, it is in a great location, like I said, and had a beautiful view!
