Unfortunately we wouldn’t recommend this a place after our stay, but I do think a lot of these things could easily be changed and be for the better for next guests!
- Beds - Communication was that the place was doable for 3 guests. No bedding or pillows set out for the third person. We just ended finding extra sheets in an extra random drawer (not easy to find). That was extremely disappointing. Especially since our whole trip we’ve experienced such great stays and hosts in Paris and across France.
- No towels were laid out or in the bathroom, so we had to just guess from a random drawer.
- Check out - It was communicated that we would leave around 11:30/11:45am (check out is at noon). While we were out of the Airbnb that morning , we got back a little before 11 to find that the host came in to strip the beds and wash towels inside the place we were staying. It felt very intrusive and unprofessional since we still had the place for over an hour.
- Location - Easy to find! The location was pretty descent. However I will say that if you are trying to do a lot of the “tourist attractions “, being closer to the west side is better so you could walk more easily to things. We metroed a lot which is nice and easy!
- Not clean - Floor was pretty dirty, dirty towels in the hamper, bathroom rug was grungy
- Check in - We asked if late check in could happy and was denied, which is fine and understandable since it does say before 8pm. But the host disclosed that they let guests check in late earlier that week and I was told the “property manager wouldn’t be pleased to do it again”. So that felt unprofessional to put that on me and unfair. We bent our back a lot by moving around a lot of our plans in Paris, changed our train tickets, and booking an extra night at our previous place to accommodate them so we could come in the next morning instead (so still paid our full price booking to them). Then for check in, the property manager was over 20 minutes late in meeting us at the agreed upon time.
- WiFi- the WiFi and password was shown in the Airbnb instructions, but they had ended up recently updating the WiFi so the instructions were wrong. They said they hadn’t had time to update them.
