Despite the fact that the apartment is very nice and in a very good location, we didn’t have the best experience in Ana’s apartment.
We booked our 21-day stay in Paris two months in advance: my colleague and I are classical musicians and we were supposed to be in France for a three-week project. Finding an accommodation in Paris that fits your budget and your location needs is not easy, but Ana’s apartment looked just perfect. Unfortunately, 48 hours before our arrival we contacted her to get some details and we discovered that the apartment was no longer available and that we had two options: cancelling the full stay or, as a compromise, staying only for ten days and then moving elsewhere, which is what we did.
If you are familiar with Paris, you can imagine how difficult it could be to look for a proper accommodation in the city, for two people, staying in a budget and in a certain area, with such a short notice: it has obviously been impossible to find anything acceptable in Paris and we had to book an apartment in the outskirts of the city. That was very annoying.
As per our host, Ana is a nice person, but not fully responsive: instead of contacting us as soon as the apartment became unavailable, she waited until we contacted her and, also during our stay, it was difficult to get answers and feedback from her.
Quel dommage!
