Very good location. However, I found Jean a little bit rude when messaging him. For example, when I told him about our issues with our hot water he stated “… the hot water is brand new, so I really doubt it doesn’t work. However, I will have it double check by the cleaning lady.”
His rude communication is what made me write a 3 star review instead of higher. We had other issues during our stay, and he seemed annoyed, ticked off, or thought we were making it up when I mentioned it to him. For example, there was a smell of smoke and an ash tray right out side the window. He said the cleaning ladies didn’t smell any smoke, but still offered to give us a refund. However, this refund did not include the Airbnb service charges, and when I attempted to take him up on this offer, he seemed angry.
The offer was an attempt for him to wash his hands of the situation. However, it wasn’t feasible for us to pay our Airbnb fees for nothing and pay for a hotel elsewhere. Therefore, we ultimately decided to stay (at no reduced cost or any other forms of reconciliation for the pungent smell of smoke).
The apartment was small, the towels were damp (and smelt bad), some of the dishes were dirty, and Jean seemed annoyed whenever we commented on the inconveniences.
However, it seemed like the apartment was recently renovated, which is nice. Ultimately it’s up to you if you want to make the trade off on space and customer service for a good price and location.
