Well I am not the first time to use airbnb in Paris, but this time the experience really disappointing.
There are only 5 beds, not like in the description. The owner 's unwelcoming and defensive attitude makes the whole stay experience very bad.
We asked the owner before the booking that if we could check out at 1700 on last day and she said yes. But after we booked, she said only can keep our luggages till late but need to leave at 11am. This is kind of cheating.
One of the guest is French and she thinks better to speak French with them to confirming some detaila but very hard to reach them and even complaining that we shouldn't call as all the info stated on the website. Such a reluctant to communicate atttitude, then better not leave the telephone no.
She even complains that we tried to ask for cancellation weeks before checked in. Well after she said cannot, we didn't insist. So all the things are we accommodating her and without communications. This is not a spirit of airbnb. May be a French spiri. But no, I did encounter nice landlord before.
Besides the misdescription of the beds, also the height is a problem. The ceiling upstairs extremely low
Some of us only has height like 150-160, we even need to lower the back to walk or crawl upstairs. no one can live there more than 2 days without back pain. Not to mentioned we hit our heads often. And there are lots of decorations in the flat. Don't look close to it otherwise you will find a lot of dust. And it's scary. When I tried to let the owner knows about it, she then said we made her flat dirty. I don't know how we can put on the dust everywhere within 3 days.
In short, the host is not welcoming. If you visit Paris, there are still lots of choices with nice owners and service.
