We were made to wait 30minutes before we were met so was disappointing but we expect that with air bnb from time to time.
Entering the building at ground level we were surprised how old and smelly the entrance area was, and our trek up the 3 flights of old rickety timber stairs did not impress.
Entering the apartment all looked ok superficially, just like the photos until we went to the toilet, kitchen and bathroom areas.
The place needs a really good clean and spruce up. The carpet/rug needs cleaning, bathroom and bedroom has mould in areas. The shower does not properly function.
If you are of mature age and expect a reasonable level of accommodation that is clean and hygienic, then this place is not for you. Hotels would never present accommodation like this apartment.
The redeeming factors were at night it is very quiet, bed linen and bed were super clean and it is well located for restaurants, trains and some attractions. The apartment was also quite spacious for a one bedroom and we could stretch out and watch our Netflix in the living room. It was a very hot time in Paris and the apartment has a cooler which we used at night to keep the cool air circulation. This is unusual for Parisian apartments and was very much appreciated .
