Jean-Pierre's place can be a good place for people who do not mind to spend the night in basement. As I explained to the Airbnb customer support case manager, the building code for normal living space does not apply to basement, therefore basements lots of time are built substandard. The host really needs to disclose this important feature to the public. Some basements have normal ceiling height and normal windows/door, but this one does not. This basement also has water pipes run through the ceiling of at least one of the bedrooms and is close to water/drain pipes of the property. The noise of running water and toilet flushing from other part of the property can be disturbing. Also due to poor insulation, the sound of TV or other devices from other part of the property can be clearly heard at basement. Another important thing the host need to know is that, once the unit is booked as a whole three bedroom unit, the host should open the whole unit to the customer. After I checked in I found the host only let me access two bedrooms for the reason that I have only a group of three people. Only upon my request, the host agreed to open the third room. But by that time it didn't matter anymore as we found other issues stated above and decided to leave. Fortunately I was able to find another airbnb apartment in just a few minutes.
I should rated it one star, but I rated it two star because the host showed willingness to open the third room after I raised the issue and issued a quick refund after Airbnb case manager contacted the host.
