Nice location, bad service.
We went to Paris for a few days with the kids and decided to stay close to downtown. The apartment has a nice location, but unfortunately this is the first and the last good thing about the flat.
I coordinated with the host in advance about our late (9PM) arrival, also, called her from the airport 1 hour prior to our arrival to the flat. Despite, when we arrived, nobody was there. Trying to call, nobody answers. time goes by, starts raining, already 10PM – kids (2Y and 4Y) hungry and tired, nobody comes, nobody answers.
At this point we contacted airbnb, somehow they managed to contact another host, who arrived after 2 hours of waiting, at 11PM.
While taking the keys, the guy told me I shall pay him EUR 50 for late handover… Am I dreaming this, or what?? I was so upset, I did not pay the money…
The apartment is dirty. The shower had pieces of hair, the bed sheet were left there from the previous guest, we try to call the host to replace it with clean, as you may imagine, without success. Finally we slept without bed sheet.
The black sofa you see on the photos is in terrible condition, impossible to sleep on it, also the black cover is peeling off, like your skin after a sunburn. That should have been thrown away years ago.
I really do not understand hosts like this: they cash in EUR 300/night (!) for a 25 sqm flat like this and they are unable to buy a proper sofabed for EUR 1.000 at the IKEA.
Not recommended.
P.S.: big thank you for airbnb support (Alexandra) for professional and immediate assistance and support.
