During our stay the neighbors noticed a plumbing leak coming from the water system of the flat. We were not notified of the "resolution" until we inquired and found out that they shut the water off with the intent to leave it shut off. We were offered a discount to stay in a place without water to drink, shower, or use the toilet. This clearly would not work, so we were stuck looking for a new place to stay at 6 pm on a Friday night. Nicolas said he would refund our unused stay, but then only refunded 80% of what we paid. When I requested the rest he then accused us of stealing his coffee maker, which we did not even use while we were there, and demanded that we pay for it. It was one of those Nespresso machines but there were no pods to use so we never touched it. Even if we were the kind of people to steal a coffee maker it would have never been able to fit in our luggage and would have been the wrong electric plug type. This is a ridiculous accusation that seems too coincidental that the cost of it is almost exactly the same as the refund amount. Additionally, the maintenance people that came in to work on the water problem moved and went through some of our stuff that was set out of the way. All around the worst AirBnB experience I have had.
Outside of the trouble we had, the location of the flat is good but the setup is not great. Like many places in Paris it did not have AC, but it seemed to be much warmer than anywhere we went during the day. There does not seem to be much airflow into the place. At night we would sleep with the window open but the church right next to it is very lit up which makes sleeping difficult. Also there is a bar right beneath it which is very noisy. We only booked this place because we waited too long to book. We were much happier with the hotel room we were forced to move to. It was only a couple blocks away but had better amenities and AC for a similar price.
