The apartment is in a good location. That is the only nice thing I have to say about this stay and Fiona. When we got there we had to pick up the keys several blocks away. We were traveling with 3 heavy bags so from the start that wasn’t a great experience.
We then get inside and it’s a 5 floor walk up on a really tiny staircase and we had heavy bags. Once we made it upstairs and got inside i immediately had to send photos to the host of all the broken items in the apartment so she didn’t think it was me. There were Broken chairs, tiles coming out of the walls etc. The first thing that I wanted to do was shower when I got there but I quickly noticed there were no towels of any size, toilet paper, or paper towels. The hosts answer to this issue was for me to go out and buy these items and she’d reimburse us. I shouldn’t have to spend my day waking around Paris stocking their apartment when it was advertised as providing these amenities.
We also had plumbing issues with their toilet. This host was unresponsive and not helpful. I would repeatedly ask for her number to be able to reach her faster to be able to troubleshoot and she refused to give me her phone number to be able to help me.
Her place was not super clean, there was no shower curtain or bath mats so when you shower water gets everywhere. I also asked if they had an oven before I booked and the host said yes but they only have a toaster oven which is not the same thing.
There are a lot of Airbnbs in Paris so don’t stay here because you can find something better with a nicer and more responsive host elsewhere.
