My family selected this apartment because we were assured it had functioning air conditioning, knowing that we would be in Paris during a heat wave. I reconfirmed in advance that the air condition was functioning with the host before our arrival. When we arrived the host dodged my question about how to turn on the air conditioning and then finally told me it was broken. I told him that he had been dishonest with me and that he did not give me the opportunity to find other accommodations. His response was that he had given me a discounted rate …which was ridiculous because I had booked 6 months in advance. In addition, we had no towels the first day so no showers until he finally brought some at 10:30 that evening. Communication was slow and not straight forward. I don’t recommend the hassle of dealing with a host that won’t be up front with you.
