Let me start with the positive part of my experience. The apartment is in a great location and is very secure. The apartment is clean and well stocked and away from the very busy street. The walls are thin and there is noise from the neighbors and the building feels old and tired but it was so great to just walk downstairs and be in the best shopping area. On a more negative note The owner, Maria was very unhelpful, even slightly hostile. My train to Paris was stuck in the countryside for 5 hours due to a fire. I emailed Maria to let her know. Upon arriving in Paris she was very angry that I was late, and threatened to leave the key under the mat and not be there which would have been impossible as there are security codes and 3 entry doors to navigate. The wifi did not work and she kept telling me she used the best company, Orange, but she was unable to fix it while I was there. She was very hostile about this, thank God for Airbnb, they really tried to help me out. After my long travel day I was also told repeatedly not to use too much water and to turn off the lights as Americans are known for not caring about the environment! If I thought for a second that she cared about the environment I may have felt better but it was much more about the cost of electric power. For $170 a night I think I should be able to take a long shower. I believe Maria needs to realize that she is charging a high price for her tiny apartment and that we are the customer. She seems to have it reversed in her mind. This is my first negative review on Airbnb.
