First the more positive things:
- check-in is possible at any time, because there's nobody waiting for you. You just get some codes you use to enter the building and the apartment.
- the location of the flat is very good, we hardly ever used the Metro and walked instead to Mont Matre, Louve or Île de la Cité. There are lots of Restaurants nearby and the Grands Boulevards are "right in front" of your door.
Now the "not so nice" annotations:
- the main issue is, that there is a company running this apartment and they are not nearby, but somewhere completely else and so they cannot assist if anything goes wrong or in case you need help or assistance.
- you communicate with a support-center and there may be good will, but it’s just not comparable to talking to somebody in person
- there is nobody to show you around the flat and explain how e.g., the heating works (which would be nice if its cold outside) - we found out the second day by ourselves
- nobody really takes care of the flat - it is being cleaned (at least somehow), but there is no one going through the flat and caring for how everything looks like. e.g., all the curtains were hanging off, a shelf was broken, but just not repaired, the fridge is falling out of the cupboard, the cabinet in the living room is broken and nobody cares...
However, that's all not that dramatical, but what really made me angry was a broken metal lamp in the bedroom of my kids. The bare cables were touching the metal and I wanted to get rid of this life-threatening thing in the room of my kids. Since I couldn’t find the fuse box in the flat to turn of the electricity, I got in contact with "CheckMyGuest". Instead of sending me an electrician immediately or at least letting me know how I can turn of the electricity - nothing happened.
they didn't take ANY action. On the fourth (!!!) day of our stay, the managed to start a videocall and had a look at the lamp (where I have sent plenty of images before).
If you think that they got somebody stopping by to fix this, you are wrong.
The solution was, that I should find the fuse for the lamp by trying out every single fuse in the fuse box (which was located outside the flat)...
I was speechless - I couldn't understand why they just don't send and electrician to fix that problem...
So - generally spoken - you will often get to read the lines "We will get in touch with you as soon as possible."
My opinion: just don't book apartments of "CheckMyGuest" - even though they got nice pictures of their apartments.
