Nicolas' apartment is extremely gorgeous and in an amazing neighborhood. I'm not sure if I would stay there again. Initially (my mistake) I had thought that the rental was for the entire apartment. About two wks before the trip I got a message from Nicolas stating that he would be going out of town for business during our stay, and "would we like to upgrade to the full apartment?". He said it would be $171 more. Turned out to be much more than that with airbnbs fees. I would have appreciated a clear price before I decided to take the full apartment. Nicolas informs you that if you are more than one hour late to your check in time that he would appreciate a message or email. When our train into Paris was delayed thirty minutes I wasn't sure if I should contact him or not. I found wifi in the cab( unfortunately AT&T phone service refused to work in France!) and let him know that we would be around 30 minutes late. He responded very rudely saying "I wish I would have known this information earlier, I'm guessing you have known for a while." We didn't go over the hour late time (we were 30 min late) that he discussed via email so I honestly didn't appreciate the response. It was rude and unnecessary. On top of all this the wifi in the apartment did not work. We contacted him and he checked with the provider and informed me that he will be getting some money back on his plan that month. The entire stay we had no wifi and were unable to check in to our flight, or email. It was definitely frustrating. I was surprised that he informed me that he would be getting his money back for the faulty wifi, and that he didn't intend to refund any of our stay. During check out Nicolas asked us what time we would like to check out, we requested as late as possible that was convenient to him because we had a late flight that day. He said he would talk to the next renters and get us a later check out. After the wifi was inaccessible for our stay he told us that as a way to repay us he gave us a later check out. This didn't add up to us. All in all, the whole experience felt unwelcoming and frustrating. The rental of the entire apartment felt like a squeeze to get more money (he stayed in Paris the entire time we stayed there, despite the fact that earlier he told me he'd be going out of town.) he often offered to give me a late check out for around 70$ more, even though we had many times declined. We didn't NEED a late check out, but if it worked out for him and his next tenants it would be helpful to us. He didn't seem to understand that. This being our third Airbnb experience...
