BEWARE!

Host made inappropriate request to bring Duty-Free cigarettes through customs for her personal use in exchange for the $30 cleaning fee. She was initially rude and unhelpful when we were lost in Paris trying to find her apartment. Although the “Nest” was as described, and the location ideal, the real problem occurred after we left. She submitted a false claim of damages to her “door lock” in order to unjustifiably confiscate our security deposit.

Airbnb offered, effectively, no advocacy or assistance to us in challenging the false claim.

“Caveat emptor.”
