EXCELLENT APARTMENT. HOST UNRESPONSIVE AND INEPT.
This apartment is very good, in a good location, modern, well furnished, comfortable and as described. However, poor communication resulting in a horrendous check-in experience and an unnecessarily long interruption of internet service over Christmas made this rental an experience I would not like to repeat. A modest refund, thankfully received, covered only our out-of-pocket communication expenses. Host failing to use, monitor or respond to the Airbnb message thread made our stay difficult. CHECK-IN. Host offered early check-in and then failed respond to requests for check-in procedure. Eventually 'phoned him and arranged for early check-in at noon rather than 14:00. Provided host with arrival information, flights, etc... On arrival unable to to contact host by 'phone or message. Went to apartment address as arranged, host arrived two hours late. Was left waiting outside in freezing (thirty-seven degrees F) weather making frantic long distance 'phone calls to Airbnb. Host said he was not in Paris and somebody else had his cell phone. Not a good start. Had similar communications problems when Internet connection failed over Christmas. This is a good rental at a fair price BUT if anything goes wrong the host can't be relied upon to deal with it in a timely basis. I would NOT return and can't recommend this rental to others.
