Super great location.
But I can’t say I recommend the place...
I think the host can not control staff managing his place when he is not around.
1. Host
- Francois Olivier is very kind and easy to contact. I believe he tried his best to help me through the stay.
- He prepared ‘2 bottles of champagnes for us to celebrate my parents-in-laws’ 60th birthday.
2. Checking-in
- I could not get any respond from the host nor the staff when checking in. I tried everything (call, sms, email, airbnb message etc.) Waited for 1 hour around the place. Airbnb customer service worked things out.
3. Cleaning
- Litters were on the floor. Laundry was in the machine (which needed drying). Dust everywhere and foot prints in the restroom and so on.
- We were unable to use the washing machine because laundries already occupied the machine and there was water fungus in there.
- Fans and hair dryers were full of dust. Fan was not able to function appropriately since dust almost blocked the airways.
4. Air conditioning
- Weather in Paris is going crazy during the summer. And this place is should not be an option during this kind of extremely hot weathers.
- There is A/C on the living room wall but is not working at all. Which gives wrong impression.
5. Price
- Plus, the rate is highly over priced, for this price I would at least expect place better than 3 star hotel. Which did not meet the standard at all.
I sincerely hope host clears things out.
I stayed in Airbnbs in 5+ cities world wide (not very much I guess) but this was the most unbelievable place I’ve encountered.
I don’t think I can use Airbnb in Paris ever again.
(I almost lost faith in Airbnb but had such a great experience in BCN!! GO AIRBNB!)
