We had a wonderful stay at this apartment. We loved the location and proximity to great museums, restaurants, and Parisian sights. The host, Fred, brought in an air conditioner which was a fantastic surprise. We could walk everywhere and really enjoyed our time here.
Our only issue with the stay was during check in. It was extremely stressful - we were 20 mins late due to city traffic beyond our control, and driving in a new city is hard as it is. Host made us worry that he would not be there to let us in and made us feel guilty for being late because he has a young daughter at home despite me clearly communicating with him the whole day and updating him on our ETA (again, we only ended up being 20 minutes late).
When I asked if it would be possible to have another greeter check us in if he had to leave, he replied “Find someone else in the last minute to check in you a Sunday evening, I don’t think so.. I have to check with my daughter what’s happening and will bank to you.” It was a pretty unwelcoming and stressful arrival to Paris and made me wonder what would happen if a bigger delay came up, as does tend to happen sometimes when you travel!
Aside from that we had no big issues and spent a lovely week at the apartment.
