If you choose this location, be prepared for a last-minute, no-justification cancellation. A friend and I were staying in the city for a night, and we chose this place because of its convenience and size, and the reduced price that was offered was also attractive.
We booked the place on a Tuesday for the upcoming Friday, and received confirmation through Airbnb right away. The proprietor, which is not an individual but an agency called WS, also required an additional form with some personal information, which I filled out in advance.
Then, the night before, I received a message saying the place was never confirmed, and that the reservation was cancelled. I figured it was an error, because I had received no such communication from Airbnb itself, and the reservation was still confirmed on the app. I sent a message the next day asking for clarification, and over an hour later I got a reply that didn’t even answer my question—by this point we were already en route to Paris. I asked again for clarification, and the second message came from a different person, asking us to try rebooking. I explained that we only needed a room for the night, and that I needed to know if the place would or would not be available. I finally got a response: “we are sorry that the apartment is not available.”
By then my friend and I were off the train, walking in the pouring rain, looking for an awning to duck under to find a plan B on our phones. We ended up staying at a hotel.
I don’t doubt that the place is nice, and that our experience is an outlier, but I was frustrated with the slow, vague communication with the host and the entirely mixed messages I was receiving from the host(s) themselves and the Airbnb service.
