There were many things about the listing that were as we expected them to be. Eloise had someone there to meet us when we arrived later than expected and we were grateful for that.
The listing said that is was it "in the heart of Paris"--which it was---but maybe a little more of "in the heart" than we had anticipated---Daytime--the access was fine--but later, in the dark, at night, the street was a little "seedy"--and we were not so comfortable entering the courtyard. Perhaps someone more used to urban settings would have not thought twice about it.
The listing also said there would be wifi. There was no wifi. Since I didn't have wifi it was difficult to contact Eloise and ask her about the wifi. Finally we did connect with her and she offered to come and check it out--but by then we had decided to find another place to stay, where we would feel safer and have wifi.
The room itself was fine, albeit small. There was drunken yelling on the street at night and workmen making noise by 8 am in the morning. When we arrived there was a blood stained pillowcase still on the pillow--and that made me wonder if the sheets had been changed at all. I just got out a new pillow and case--but it was disconcerting.
Never having booked a room through a listing like this--this was definitely a learning experience. I knew there was a risk in booking it, as I knew nothing about the location other than what was advertised. There was no mis-statements (except about the wifi)--but for us, the location just wasn't right.
