The apartment is located in an artsy youth neighborhood filled with cafes, art galleries and centered near major historic monuments and attractions. In an effort to see all of Paris in 2days (time mostly spent outdoors) this feature was advantageous. Furthermore, the view of River Seine is beautiful at night making this neighborhood stellar without a doubt. Maybe because everyone's traveling during the summer the building seemed untenanted. With that said, as a family of six traveling from London to Paris and completely exhausted we found it extremely inconvenient to check-in way later than the time indicated. It was also difficult to communicate with the host and caretaker whose responses we not prompt nor helpful. We got there at 3 pm (time indicated by host for check-in) but waited outside of the building for half an hour because no one was responding. Flore, the caretaker finally came downstairs to greet us, making clear she hadn't finished cleaning the apartment. And so we waited in the common area until 4:30. We finally settled in when she left. Before leaving she requested we check-out at 10 am instead of 12 pm (check-out time on airbnb) to prepare for the arrival of new guests. This influenced our decision to leave early and head back to London. This part of the experience was frustrating especially since it was a family trip.
