Yes, the purpose of Airbnb is for people in possession of a property (either owned or leased) to be able to provide short-term stays to others for money. But, is the spirit of Airbnb for people to lease dozens of properties, fill them with the bare minimum and leverage them for maximum profit? I messaged Brice on arrival politely querying that I couldn't locate a few essentials; a kettle (boiling water is pretty standard in every Airbnb I have ever stayed in since 2016), any spare toilet paper (1x tiny roll left), cleaning supplies so we can wash a dish or clean the kitchen (as required by the property instructions for checkout), soap to wash your hands after the bathroom?
Brice's response was to tell me that he has 100's of AIRBNB's and this is standard - I can go to the shops and purchase all of these things for myself! So beware, if you stay here be sure to pack everything from home including a kettle.
This left a terrible taste in my mouth - the property is well located, spacious and would be great if it was not being used as a soulless cash grab. I love to travel using Airbnb but this stay really conflicted me - I hope that we don't see the death of fantastic cities like Lyon, Paris, Lisbon etc because all of the central apartments are being leveraged by people like Brice.
