I'm not sure I can remember the last time I felt disappointed walking into a place I had rented, but it happened on this trip. My wife and I were so looking forward to our first trip to Paris with our four month old daughter. We arrived to a place that, while clean, felt very different from the photos. There was construction in the courtyard and the lovely plants were gone. Decorative touches like vases and rugs were missing. The small dining table had only one chair. Three of the main lights were burned out or not functional. The wifi was slow and unreliable (though it improved midway through our stay). And to top things off, it was so hot. As the windows only open to a small courtyard, there was no airflow and the one table fan in the unit was insufficient for keeping the place cool and required all three of us to say in the same room together. We had looked forward to a week of relaxing in this pretty and cozy Parisian flat, like the countless others I've stayed in, but we were all just uncomfortable the entire time. Maybe if I was by myself or backpacking with a few friends when I was younger this place would be fine. But honestly, it almost ruined the trip for my family. We made the most of it but we were really disappointed.
