It all started with a message from the host asking for my arrival time (which sounds nice) but turns out someone has to meet you in the lobby which became quite stressful since our train arrived at 9:15 PM and then I was told by the host I cannot arrive after 10:00 PM. Luckily our train was on time and we arrived to meet.
We picked this AirBnb after filtering out all locations without Air Conditioning knowing Paris in August is hot and it's what we require to be comfortable. While it's true there was 1 ac unit in the apartment, it was all the way in the front and did not reach the bedrooms in the back, especially not quickly and the A/C was not on when we arrived.
Next point all should know: The beds and the pillows are very uncomfortable and as I was told by host after checking in, "There are 2 pillows per bed, 1 set of sheets per bed and 1 blanket per bed...It’s an Airbnb where people live.
It’s not an hotel where you can ask extra pillows, extra blankets and other services."
So that seems to be true - expect to find partially opened food in the fridge and clothes and shoes in closets.
The apartment is cluttered and one of the bedrooms' bed is only 10 inches from the wall - expect to stub your toe many times.
While the view is great, and many reviewers love this, I was looking for a place to be comfortable.
