First, I want to say that I typically would not formally complain or write a bad review. I have only used Airbnb a handful of times and I have generally been satisfied. However, in this case I felt it important that I write a review so that no one else is mislead.
Overall I was disappointed with this property because it was not as pictured in the Airbnb advertisement. The photos made it look fresh and inviting, but that is not how it appears in person. In addition, the location/access to the property was not clearly described. I had to enter through a secure exterior door from the street into a courtyard (not well lit) and the property was on the first level with additional apartments on a second level. With the curtains open everyone that walks through the courtyard had a clear view into this unit and all of my personal belongings. In addition, the kitchen to a neighboring Italian restaurant backs up to the courtyard. As a woman traveling alone I did not feel safe.
The Host was responsive when I reached out with my concerns; however, they did not acknowledge any of the items I pointed out even after I sent photographs. They claimed the property was as described. They notified me they would send a handyman to address some of the issues; however, most of the issues could not be resolved by a handyman. The patio furniture as shown on the airbnb listing is not the furniture that is at the location. What was there was a much smaller folding wood table (only big enough for one place setting) and it was old/dirty as were the matching folding chairs that looked like they would break if someone other than a small child sat on them. The area where the table is located had weeds growing up through the gravel and looked very dismal. The futon chair that is in the property had brown stains all over it and needs to be replaced, the decorative pillows on the bed smelled very bad and should be replaced, the kitchen table was wobbly and one of the chairs was broken, the closet area was so full I could not hang up my clothes, the espresso machine did not work very well and the Host only provided 3 espresso pods for a 6 day stay. The shower was very small (as most are in Europe) and the grout was dirty. On a positive note, I will say the hot water worked very well. In addition, I worked from the Airbnb for one day and for the most part the internet worked well - I did get disconnected a few times but was able to reconnect fairly quickly.

Due to the issues noted above and the fact the location was not as convenient as I was expecting for my travel (40 minute Uber ride to central Paris), I relocated to a hotel after one night and the Host was unwilling to provide a refund of any kind. I really was hoping to have a better experience.
