There was construction work going on for the building, so it was very noisy and this made it impossible to work at the apartment. I was there on a work trip, so it was very disappointing that the host had not informed about the construction work on beforehand. I was in Paris for almost a month, and had to change where I stayed because of this. However, the host refused to change my booking or give a refund. Thanks to Airbnb, it worked out after all. So I moved to a different place after a week. All in all, not a great experience...

Other than these really unfortunate circumstances and the lack of understanding for the situation by the host, the apartment was ok. It was raining and quite cold and humid the whole week I was there, but it helped that it was a small oven in the apartment. It was not the most comfortable bed, but for a short stay it's ok. The apartment was close to the metro station and in a calm and safe area.
