We have stayed in Airbnb’s apartments around the world - always had great experiences and have never written a critical review. Pierre’s apartment was a mixed experience - first the good - great location and really lovely apartment building and the apartment is very traditional if a bit faded - and the not so good - we waited for half an hour on arrival for someone to meet us and let us in after a long haul flight. The apartment seemed to have been closed up for some time - there was a strong smell of cigarettes (I know it’s France!) and the bathroom and toilet also smelt. The sitting room and bedroom face into internal courtyards which is quiet and great but the kitchen and bathroom are internal with no windows or ventilation. There were no niceties like enough toilet paper to last the first afternoon or a spare set of sheets and towels ( we were staying 3 weeks). I found the bed very hard and uncomfortable. All in all I wouldn’t stay there again but if it was a shorter stay the things I have pointed out would probably be less of an issue.
