Good things: Good location, close to metro. Washer/dryer inside apartment.
Areas of concern: Apartment is small and cramped with too many items all over the place. No space to move around. Difficulty in finding kitchen items easily. Big problems in communicating with host on arrival (NOT language issues, but host attitude). Communication is through Whats-Up messaging application and response time is slow (several hours later) because host has poor network coverage. Host not available during check-in to explain anything about apartment. Host asked us to knock on neighbor's door for help. We did with no response. We struggled initially with opening the door due to unique Paris locks (almost panicked). Finally figured it out after 15 minutes. Apartment was very hot with two small fans and no A/C. When asked for an additional fan, we were asked to go to nearest supermarket and buy it ourselves. On 3rd day, toilet was not flushing properly. We were told that host will send a plumber if needed, but we have to PAY OURSELVES. Somehow we managed. Being in a new country and not able to speak French makes it very difficult especially with poor host communication. We have stayed in several Airbnb apartments in Europe where the hosts were very friendly, responsive and extremely helpful. We will rate this apartment as probably the worst overall value.
