Before we got there all was cordial and helpful, and the many advantages of the apartment are true. It's a nice place in a great location at the Place de la République.
Before we arrived the host was helpful and accommodating. BUT. The air conditioning only worked in one room (out of five) and wasn't very good. It got very hot just before we left and it was quite uncomfortable. Luckily we left before the major heat wave on June 26th, 2019. There was only one key for the apartment which was a drag because we were two couples who had different itineraries. For one family that always goes out together that could be OK. AND the fact that the elevator only goes up to the floor below ours might have been a problem. Those would have been nice to know. AND THEN--We had a problem that the host agreed to compensate us for, ( a hair dryer did not work so we got their permission to buy a new one and did.) but as soon as we left they stopped communicating completely. Bizarre. We sent numerous messages and they just did not respond at all. We finally had to rate the experience poorly because of the AIRBNB deadline but still have not heard from him and would like our money. ********* Il y avait un problème avec un appareil. Un sèche-cheveux qui ne fonctionne pas. L'hôte était d'accord pour en acheter un nouveau avec remboursement et nous l'avons fait et avons laissé le reçu. POURTANT, depuis notre départ l'hôte ne répond pas du tout à nos multiples messages au sujet du remboursement. Rien. Bizarre. Avant notre départ ils étaient assez vite en répondant. ET La climatisation ne marchait qu'en une seule chambre et n'était pas efficace. Nous sommes partis juste avant la canicule du 26 juin, mais c'était dur quand même. AUSSI, une seule clef pour l'appart compliquait bien nos aller et venir. On était deux couples. ET Le fait que l'ascenseur ne monte qu'à l'étage juste dessous le notre n'était pas grand chose pour nous, mais il aurait pu pour les infirmes.
