Host hides negative reviews. At the time of booking (May) for a mid June arrival, their rating was a 5. Two weeks before our arrival, we received a email from Airbnb offering us the opportunity to rebook at another rental property due to their reviews dropping significant (3.9).
Turns out the negative reviews were written months before our initial booking! Of course, two weeks prior to our arrival during a busy time in Paris did not leave us with many options for booking a new place.
Secondly, the unit is filthy. Our socks were black after walking around the flat. The detergent compartment had black mold in which I had to clean with bleach wipes.
Lastly, the unit is not in a “trendy” area. It’s super sketchy and appears to be very unsafe. It’s conveniently located right next to the metro to get you the hell out that area though.
