The host Eric initially and cheerfully said we (family of 4) could check in between 1-2p without any problem but on that day of check in he messaged that we could not check in until after 2p but we did not get that message because he sent that message while we were en route from CDG airport and we did not have WiFi! We arrived at 1:15p and a male answered the door ringer via speaker but did not let us in saying “Eric” was not there. Then Eric arrived at 2p blaming us for coming at 1:15. When we got in the place near 2p, it was dirty and Eric then left the apt with his luggage. Eric returned in about 15 minutes saying we had to leave because he was in trouble with the landlord who saw us enter and he was not supposed to be renting the apartment out via Airbnb and he was in deep trouble. Eric said many people in his apt are doing Airbnb but are not supposed to (against the law) and the landlord has set firm boundaries with him and we must leave immediately. He was nervous and apologetic and had to cancel us. Then my family of 4 were stranded in Paris as night was coming! I have done Airbnb in Tokyo and Kyoto and both were great experiences but I would NOT recommend Airbnb in Paris!!!!
