Unfortunately I didn’t stay here. When I first booked it, I was excited to stay there because Bloubi was quick with her responses. That’s one of the reasons why I went with her place because she was so quick and attentive with her messages. She messaged me about 3 weeks before I checked in to find out about my arrival times, etc. I had been so busy with work I completely forgot to double check on my checking in process until the day I was to arrive. I’ve been in Paris before and I knew there’s usually a door code to get access into the building. The day of my check in, I messaged her when my train was pulling out of the train station. It’s a 7.5 hour train ride. I had no response. I’ve sent her multiple messages once I got to Paris and outside the building. I didn’t even know someone else was checking me in until I was in the foyer (a neighbor let me in) and on the phone with airbnb help. Mind you, it’s my first time being in this kind of situation. The guy who was supposed to check me in had walked past me and my 2 heavy suitcases about 20 mins earlier and didn’t say a word to me. Through our language barrier, I found out he was the one to check me in. I got to the apartment and it looked exactly in the listing. Once he was gone, I checked the lofted bed, it looked like someone had slept in it (with a human form dent in the wrinkled bedsheet). The bed didn’t look like it was made. Once I was in the bathroom, there was a thin towel that seemed to be drying and that was it. Upon looking closer, there were crumbs on the kitchen counter top. I sat down on the couch to call Airbnb and to explain my situation, I saw long human hair all over the couch and the glass part of the coffee table had dried out stains and fingerprints, and below the coffee table was just dusty. While I was on the call with Airbnb, Bloubi replied my previous messages. Turned out she was away with 9 hours difference. In all, Bloubi did offer to let me stay at her apartment for free. But with work and being busy, I couldn’t stay at an apartment that’s dirty. Going forward, I’ll set reminders to make sure I have all the necessary information before checking in.
