The apartment is in our most favourite Paris location in front of the Canal and gives you a nice back in the days Airbnb apartment sharing experience where you truly live between the stuff of the owner which makes you feel you are staying at a friend’s place which we adore.
So far the positive part.
The less positive part was the Guestready Property management company who tried their best but failed in every possible way they could fail.
1. Check-in time was last minute delayed because they had a problem with the cleaning company (no worries if that was the only thing but the saga continues)
2. There was nobody to welcome us in in the apartment, although there's a store next door we had to walk 10 minutes with our luggage to a supermarket to pickup the key with some kind of pincode we received
3. The supermarket could not give us the key because the pincode was invalid
4. After 5-10 minutes listening to music of the callcenter of the Guestready property company we left hoping for the cleaning company to be still at the apartment but on our way back we got a new pincode through airbnb chat so we returned to the supermarket and we received the keys to the apartment. The accesscode to enter the building also worked fine and we could happily unpack to start our weekend in Paris :)
5. After midnight we came back from diner and tried to enter with the same accescode to enter the building but it appeared not to be valid anymore, after 10 minutes trying to access the building in the rain we called the Guestready property company to report the accescode was not working
6. After 5-10 minutes listening to music of the callcenter of the Guestready property company they confirmed I had the correct accescode that should not have been expired yet and asked me to make a video of me entering the accescode
7. After making the video in the rain and trying to send it on iMessage and Whatsapp their phonenumber did not allow receiving video and since the airbnb app only supports uploading images we called back to the callcenter of the Guestready property
8. After 5 minutes listening to music of the callcenter of the Guestready property they gave me a new accescode which was valid to open the main door of the building so after being locked out half an hour in the rain in the middle of the night we could enter the apartment again and had a Wonderfull stay in the lovely Paris :)
9. For checking out initially we were asked to walk back another 10 minutes with our luggage to the supermarket and drop the keys there but after kindly asking the people of the Guestready property company approved to let us leave the keys in the apartment
Not really a €600 experience for a 3 night stay.
