There were no issues with the property itself. It is in a fabulous location and I stay in the area most of the time when I visit Paris. No issues with the room. It’s an older building so you have to expect certain things. These are all laid out perfectly in the description.
However, there was great difficulty on check-in. The gentleman who was going to meet us was late and when I found that to be an issue he wanted to cancel our reservation. So, you can imagine that someone is stuck in Paris without a reservation. Luckily, Airbnb intervened and was able to settle the matter. possibly, they have too many rooms and obligations and therefore cannot meet the guests on time.
This is not a Parisian thing nor is it an American thing. Both parties spoke English very well. I have been fortunate enough to travel to Paris for the last 40 years and this quite honestly was my only unpleasant experience. The property would receive a five star rating had it not been for the check in experience.
