It is always difficult to give a bad review especially when you know that the host is doing is best to be of service. In this case, it was not enough.
The apartment is brand new but tiny, minuscule, it is in a semi-basement location in a modern building that has nothing to do with what La Bute aux Cailles is known for, so not in a so nice area.
The bathroom does not have any air circulation so the smell is difficult to live with.
There is only one window that gives out on a parking lot, no air circulation whatsoever.
It cannot be left opened as anyone could come in very easily.
We arrived at the time we had announced and called the host as we agreed. No answer...!
We ended up waiting in the lobby 30 minutes before the concierge of the building asked us what we were doing there and after we told him, made a call on a phone number we did not have and reached the host who finally came. All in all, not a very nice experience.
Minh, our host, was very helpful once he arrived and apologized citing a phone issue.
I will give the place a four star hoping that Minh will do what is necessary to make the place more safe and better ventilated. The price is totally unjustified for what its offered, in my opinion.
Once a couple is inside with 2 suitcases, it is difficult not to walk over each other.
Sorry Anna and Minh, hope this review helps you make your place better.
Serge.
