This is honestly the worst experience I've ever had staying at a place. My entire experience lasted only 2 hours at this apartment. Yes it has a fantastic view of the Eiffel tower. that's the ONLY upside I have to write about this.
She left out multiple crucial points to the check in process. Even beside that, having to walk to a random shop to ask a guy and give him a six-digit code so he can pull out a set of keys from a fishing tackle box, not even sure if he gave me the right keys, is very unsettling for an experience.
We got inside and found the place trashed. There is a missing light bulb in the bathroom. The curtains were mostly torn from their clips, hanging in only 3 places. There were used tissues on the table. No soap anywhere in the apartment. The toilet seat was broken and the bathtub dirty. there was trash outside on the balcony. The owner has zero idea how the heat worked (it was stuck on and extremely hot inside). I tried to open the bedroom door and the handle broke off.
I have a list of more issues, but I digress. it left my new fiance in tears and us scrambling to find a new place to reside as quickly as possible.
I read other reviews of the place and I'm literally shocked that anyone has had a good experience here. maybe the other person that stayed here in November, the review before mine, trashed the place. But still this company that owns the place couldn't even inspect it before we came??? Don't be fooled, "Anne" just works for a company, this couldn't possible be a private residence. I sent a message asking how to turn the heat off and she asked me to send a picture of the heater....
AirBnB support was the saving grace, issuing a refund immediately and helping us find a place to stay.
