AVOID THIS PLACE: the price is lower for a reason. This is actually the first time I've ever had to write a negative review for a host, I don't like doing it - but I wouldn't want others to run into the surprises we did. Warnings: - The Apartment: The place is even smaller than it appears in the photos. The hallways can only fit one person walking past at a time. It is very cramped for anything over 2 people. He is currently saying 5-6 people could stay there comfortably, which is inaccurate and almost hilarious. - Location: There is a very seedy/sketchy park directly out front of the home, where many people were drinking and publicly urinating. The stench of urine was unavoidable when walking to the apartment. We never felt unsafe in anyway, however it definitely detracted from our experience. - House Rules: There are a bunch of small, annoying charges in the contract we had to sign (which was not affiliated with Airbnb at all): 20 Euro for early check out or late check in, 30 euro for cleaning fees if they felt it wasn't left clean enough, 5 euro for each set of bed sheets and towels. They said the fee for the bedding would be due at departure, yet they asked for it during check in. Also, the bedding was just the regular stuff in their closet - I really don't know why we had to pay an extra 20 euro for sheets. - Check-in: we couldn't find the host and were waiting around out front for a while - I had to find a restaurant that would let me borrow their phone so I could call him. After that, Philippe launched into a 25 minute tour, painfully outlining every single minute aspect of his small apartment (even though it was Christmas Eve and we already had all that information from a document he sent prior). He covered "illuminating" topics like: remembering your keys when leaving or you'll be locked out. I'm not sure if this was because he thought we were young and naive or if he is just overly distrusting of his guests. It was so bad that his wife actually started yelling at him that it was time to get going because even she was getting irritated with his overly long tour. - Showering: Hot water for the shower doesn't work after the first shower (even when following his water heater instructions). - Wifi: Insanely weak. So weak that is won't even cover the entirety of this small apartment. I'd bet the router is shared and located in another apartment... The obvious benefits of this apartment is the price and walkable distance from the train station - but that's about it. The hosts are generally good people and were kind enough to let us keep our bags there past check out and retrieve them just before our train. The hosts are nice, the place is central and cheap - but I...
