WARNING*****There is no Air Conditioning as listed!!!!****** Inaccurate listing!!!!****
Initially Marianne was helpful, offering many suggestions on where to eat, and what to do. She was also helpful in giving me suggestions on places for my mom to stay in the neighborhood. However, things deteriorated quickly after check-in.
Air conditioning was listed as an amenity. When I arrived, there was a no air conditioning. There was a Dyson Cool fan. If you check the specifications online, you’ll see this is essentially an air purifier and fan.
When confronted, Marianne first stated that this fan was indeed air conditioning. We went back and forth debating what air conditioning is. This was incredibly frustrating. Eventually Marianne admitted that her apartment could not be configured with traditional air conditioning. This makes sense as she has Velux sky windows. I attempted negotiation to stay, and receive a 50% refund. She denied me this. She offered another fan and a “climatiseur portable refroidisseur d'air silencieux.” This is a very small portable unit, that uses water and has no output for the hot air. This will not cool a room like traditional air conditioning. I agreed to try the climatizer, showing a sign of good faith.
After I agreed to the climatizer, Marianne informed me she would charge me extra for it.
I promptly decided to leave, because;
1.) I had been lied to.
2.) The climatiseur is not air conditioning.
3.) I was going to be charged for said “solution.”
4.) Our exchange about what air conditioning is was maddening.
I cannot recommend Marianne as a host.
