Unfortunately, our arrival did not go well. We were not met by anyone and the instructions for entry to the building and apartment were not conveyed to us, as we had no way of receiving emails. The hosts were aware of this and our arrival time and this was confirmed with them. They also were aware that we had no means of communicating with them . Fortunately, a resident exited the building and we were able to get inside the foyer from the cold, damp weather and another resident was kind enough to make a number of phone calls for us to the host and I was able to get the codes for the three doors and this resident then showed us how and where to use these codes and showed us where the apartment was located. If not for this resident's kindness and assistance we would have been lost!! This was a very stressful situation as we were already dealing with the train strike and had been travelling for many hours. This situation made for a very upsetting beginning to our stay in Paris. In addition to the above, the phone number on the listing was not in service.
The location, while not meters from the Eiffel Tower, was very nice, quiet and picturesque. The hosts were very kind to leave a basket of fresh fruit and a lovely bottle of wine.
