Really wanted to give this airbnb a great for the review and would have ....apart from the check in process. Let's start with the positives! The flat is in a great location, really easy for walking, bus or metros. The area feels really safe, there are loads of shops and cafes/restaurants in the near vicinity. The farmers market, as someone else mentioned, was fab on Sunday as well. The flat itself is really comfortable. Elisabeth has really stocked it with anything a visitor could need (umbrellas, backpack for day trip out, shopper bags, cleaning supplies, etc). The bedroom is lovely with large windows that open up for a nice breeze through (it was quite warm the week we visited). The lounge had a pull out bed, necessary as there were 3 of us. Again really comfortable but easy to pull out/put away and plenty of sitting and eating areas. The balcony with table and chairs was great, loved sitting out there and having a morning coffee. So overall definitely recommend.
The check in process was a joke. The instructions that came as to where to pick up the keys were vague at best and incorrect. We spent 2 hours walking around a massive metro station as the instructions say 'go to a place called RATP-Montparnassee Bienvenue'. This is incorrect, as it turns out, you have to go to a metro exit which is about 750m from the station (on the corner of Rue d'Odessa and Blvd du Montparnasse in front of Gaumon theater). We'd been up since 3am traveling and then waiting for checkin time of 3pm and were not impressed when we wrote for more information and the reply was to ask station staff and then that the responder on Airbnb didn't actually know where the Monkeylocky box was! After asking 10 RATP staff, who also definitley didn't know, trying to call and message MonkeyLocky directly, the Airbnb responder finally asked a colleague and gave us the required additional information that is was at Rue D'Odessa. Highly unsatisfactory and we never had as much as an apology which was very disappointing. Ruined the first day and a half as we were beyond exhausted (mentally and physically) and had to reschedule quite a few items on our busy itinerary. Hoping the additional info here (and if able, I'll upload a photo) will help save future travelers the same frustration but the instructions sent should be MUCH clearer.
