Don’t Rent Apartments Like This
Things you may not know about booking apartments when you travel the world. 
1. Owner doesn't communicate even if you have dire questions 
2. Ask about when you can checkin before you book the place - all the places in France would not let me have the details any earlier even though it would help to have the checkin details since I'd be off wifi while in transit. 
3. I heard there was a full bed when I got there I didn't see a bed. They didn't tell me the bed comes out of the wall. Never saw that before. 
4. No marking on the door or number for the unit - so I had to try to unlock 8 or 9 doors before finding the one I already paid for. 
5. Perfect location but I was in the wrong building since no one met me to show me where the apartment was. Wasted 30 minutes in the wrong building. Ask if you want to meet the owner, they will  probably say no because they don't have time, covid, aren't in the country etc. Then pass as they won't help you.
