Although I rented the apartment in the high-season of Paris, personally thinking, the cost of stay does not match its value. I have used Airbnb every time when I visit Paris, because I do not want to be bothered by cleaners and time for breakfast by hotels. But this is my first time to think a hotel is better! Here are reasons:
No toilet in the apartment (2 days before of your stay, you will know that a toilet is not in the room).
Difficulty to have a little cooking (No microwave/toaster/coffee maker/kettle/cooking knives).
One light for all (No bed-side lights/light on the dining table/light in the shower space).
Only one bath towel is given for three-day stay.
The area of the room looked much smaller than 15m2.
No electric fan/air conditioner (the list of amenities gave a false descriptions) - the apartment is too, a way too, HOT! I could not sleep. I was damp in my sweat all the time. So I drank water, then wanted to go to the loo, but it was not easily accessible!
No food, such as bread and butter etc, was provided. No hospitality.
The apartment is strongly recommended to improve in all areas for welcoming customers. One last thing - the access information was only sent to me 48 hour before my stay. I always received all information by my past hosts right after my bookings, which relieved me to see whether the hosts recognised my booking and helped me to organise my plans upon my arrivals. This host did not explain well, was just saying 'the instructions are already available on airbnb' when I texted her which was not true. Indeed, I then contacted Airbnb to confirm my booking was valid and asked when all access information would be sent (Airbnb help centre actually supported me well on this point). Communication must be reviewed.
Of course, this depends what people needs. My stay this time became very memorable.
