This is one of the worst experiences I have had with Airbnb and a host. my family of five have stayed all over the world and never had such problems.
One of the main problems here is that of safety. Cedric's shows only small series of steps in the apartment, however there are two sets of very steep steps. The elevator only fits to level 5 after that there is a narrow series of 20 or more stairs to the 6th floor which is not mentioned in the ad. As we had 6 pieces of luggage and the children, it was cumbersome and dangerous. Innate the apartment, there was another set of stairs. There were more than 20 steps and marble with sharp edges and very steep. my son had to put his hands on the walls for balance because there is no safety rail. In fact, my son tripped walking down the stairs and my daughter tripped walking up giving her a nasty bruise on her leg.
The downstairs bathroom has a very sharp edge that a few of us bumped into and got additional bruises. Lots of sharp edges.
The two sofas in the living turn into beds, but the bed is very uncomfortable and when you sit on the sofas the cushions slide out. They are not comfortable to sit on or sleep on.
I asked Cedric to cancel my stay after just one night of this nightmare. He refused completely. I told him that he did not tell me about the two sets of stairs, the sofa bed was horrible and that we had gotten hurt. He said that his ad states that it is a duplex, but in the States a duplex is often one floor, not two with stairs inside, that is a condo. He also said that the stairs are also visible in the picture, but only the five steps. From the pictures he shows everything looks fine, but it is not.
There are ornate iron work on the windows but they are waist high and my son almost fell out! This is completely unsafe and it after explaining this to Cedric it did not seem to care at all and wanted to charge me for the full stay though we left the next day. I could not keep my family in such an unsafe environment.
I encourage you to look elsewhere. Especially, if you have children, they will get hurt.
