Overall this was a nice unit in a locals neighbourhood. Most places are accessible by train or about 30 minute walk.
The room doesn’t have AC and very poor air circulation. The entire room and washroom get extremely steamy when someone showers and there was an odd smell in the room that was hard to handle at times.
I had requested early check in and was advised that it wasn’t possible but they can store my luggage for me. I was advised that there would be someone at the reception desk from 1pm to 8pm. I arrived at about 1pm to find no one at the reception so I called the host who advised me to leave my luggage in the lobby. I did not feel comfortable leaving all my luggage in an unsecured area unattended so I advised him that I would wait for him to come before I leave. He said he was in his way but didn’t show up until 2:30pm at which point he just let me check in early.
Overall, the host was very kind and willing to accommodate but I think there was a language barrier as I don’t speak French. I just wish I was told in advance that there wasn’t a secure place to keep my luggage so I could have made other arrangements.
