The airbnb situation in paris is honestly bonkers right now. So many listings are just hotels pretending to be apartments, or apartments with like 6 separate rooms being rented out.

Stayed in what was supposed to be a 'cozy studio in montmartre' and it was literally a converted closet with a murphy bed. Host had like 47 other listings all identical. Felt like a scam hotel operation

Better options: mama shelter hotels are like €80-120/night and actually fun, plus you know what you're getting. Or look at smaller boutique places on booking.com. The hotel des grands boulevards is gorgeous if you can swing €200+.

If you do airbnb anyway, reverse image search the photos and make sure the host has real reviews going back years. Too many new accounts with fake reviews now. Trust your gut if something feels off
