This was my worst Airbnb experience.
The host told me I could self check-in, but when I got there, the front door was locked and I couldn’t proceed to check-in. I had to call them 4 times, message them, and even involve Airbnb case manager to get the host to help me out with check-in. I was on the streets for almost 2 hrs. On an international trip, I was hoping to drop off my stuff quickly and make the most out of the city, but by the time I was checked-in, it was dark.
The apartment is quite old and the hallway outside had water leaks, which I almost slipped on. It’s also very dark in the hallway after sunset. It was quite dangerous as the steps are narrow as well.
Also, the bathroom trash can was not emptied. It had sanitary pads used by previous guests. This made me wonder if other parts of the apartment was cleaned thoroughly.
I’m definitely not staying here when I visit Paris again.
