Beware! Dishonest Greedy Host!! We stayed 1 hour and left the place immediately and host refused a refund.
The apartment wreaked of toxic paint odor and was unbearable to stay there. Traveling with my husband and asthmatic 7yr old. Upon checking in I noticed the odor but the Porter (not Frederic, as he was "traveling") had all the doors to terrace open. I assume to air out the apt. It was cold out approx 48 degrees farenheit so we had to close the doors to the terrace (these were the only "windows" of apt). Thats when the odor became unbearable! We started feeling nausea and headaches. For the sake of our health we had no other choice but to leave immediately. Of course I contacted the host prior and after to update him. He forward us to another contact. Not the gentleman who checked us in. In We had to find a hotel nearby and thats not easy to find one last minute to accomodate 3 persons.
I contacted host about a refund and he refused and denied the paint odor. He justified that the apt had been "painted approx 3 weeks ago and fully dried". I dont think the apt was aired out properly. Its only windows are the 2 doors to the terrace and if left open may result in the apartment being burglarized. So I highly doubt it was aired out completely due to this.
In all, it was terrible apt and experience!!!
