After flying for over 10hrs to Paris there is nothing more I wanted to do other than have an uninhibited check in and be able to rest, but to no avail...When I arrived I couldn't gain access to the place because the code provided did not work. I had to use my international calling feature to request support, and for my travelers out there we know that is not cheap. I definitely didn't appreciate that inconvenience. Anyway, once I'm inside and settled, I decide to lie down on the couch and watch television hoping to nap when I start to hear the most obnoxious and disturbing noise coming from seemingly the tv wall in the living room. It was basically a loud ongoing whirling and drilling sound coming from a neighbor doing construction and lasted for hours. There was no way to drown out this noise. The host informed me that there was nothing that could be done and in France it's allowed from 7a-8p. Fortunate enough for me I wasn't there to sit in the house, but this happened every day I was there. The place is spacious and in a great location, but the noise ruined it for me and I wouldn't book again. On another note, it would be nice of the host to have converters available for the outlets and hand soap in every bathroom as well.
