Marie-Ange was absolutely lovely but his place was not quite ready to host people on Airbnb.
-The fridge smelled so bad (the smell would flood the entire apartment when you opened it) because there was a lot of leftover stuff in there, maybe from when she was living there or maybe from other guests? I don't know.
-There was no toilet paper (which in my opinion is a basic human necessity). We had an extremely long day and plans at night so we had to go find toilet paper at like midnight, which was such a bummer.
-The listing says there's shampoo and there wasn't that either, just an old bar of soap that had obviously been used, leftover in the shower. This is expected though when you stay in Airbnbs in Europe though, so we had our own shampoo and conditioner.
-I also got the check in instructions to get through the first two doors of the building, but we did have to find the key to the actual apartment by ourselves, and we did find end up finding it but it wasn't clear where to find that. This might be because I'm American, so didn't have service very often, unless I had WiFi, so that made things difficult on my end, as well.
-I think this place might need a dehumidifier in there because it did smell a bit musty/seemed damped in there.
-It seemed like Marie-Ange maybe lived there part time or something because there were just random clothes in drawers and random stuff kind of everywhere.
-The random stuff everywhere brings me to the courtyard. In the pictures, you can tell the courtyard is secluded and it looks set up to host people on, but it wasn't ready to host us at all. There was a bunch of furniture/ladders/stuff strewn about and it wasn't inviting to sit out there at all. We really booked this place so we had an inviting outdoor space to wind down after long days, but we didn't use the courtyard once because it was a little gnarly.
-I know the other reviews said this but the place is really really loud and it's in kind of a party area (which is so fun, the location is awesome), but like girls were signing karaoke at like 4 a.m. after bar close and we could hear every word in our place.
-All in all, the location of this place is awesome. The street it's on is really fun.
I want to reiterate again how lovely Marie-Ange was and she was very quick to respond. We didn't address these things with her when we were there, which maybe we should have, but we don't love having someone come into our space when we're there, so we didn't bring it up. I really don't like writing reviews like this but unfortunately I'd like to reiterate again, In it's current condition I don't think this place is quite ready to be listed on Airbnb.
