The MOST TERRIBLE accommodation experience I've ever had in my life. I chose to write the review 2 weeks later, so that I could provide a objective review without the vicious anger from the experience.
Laurent left his key in an open letterbox and the key was stolen (and he wouldn't change the lock and never cared about the guest's safety). Therefore I was unable to get into the apartment on the first day. Laurent let me sleep in the living room of his apartment (which is super far) and charged me the same price of the entire apartment in the 16th district. Laurent was very kind to offer help with my luggage, but he broke its wheel.
After retrieving the second key the other night very late and getting into the apartment, I found a lot of the light-bulbs were gone (major ones such as the one for the bedroom), for which the host didn't provide an explanation and just ignored me. None of the first 3 or 4 light switches after entering work. It's totally dark when I arrived, and my phone's battery dead. I got very sick the previous night and the whole process was seriously painful for me.
I don't know whether these important light-bulbs were just never there or they were stolen by the thief who still holds his key, but this certainly further adds to the safety concern, as someone stole the key to the apartment but the host is unwilling to change the lock.
There are many other problems in the apartment, a very important one is that the shower doesn't work properly. It's more than just very hot. I almost got myself burnt for just several seconds there. It appears that the shower wasn't properly installed. The so-called bedroom (yes, it's tiny. The bed doesn't have and linen, sheet, pillowcase) has no sound insulation. I can hear every word of the conversation on the street and constantly woken because of the noise outside. The floor and carpet were very dirty. I had to wear socks after shower and throw them away when I left in the morning ( I decided to move out after getting into the apartment for 2 hours).
The most annoying thing is that Laurent ignored my questions about the problems. After all these troubles he brought onto me and ruining my trip, he chose to blame me??? He would be very nice to lure you to book, but will totally change after. He knew I was up until 5 am (because of the problems, and contacting airbnb), but threatened me to move out with my belongings before 10 am. Luckily the noise outside woke me up at 7 am so I didn't slept over.
