Countless faults/rude host.
First night- no hot water. Requested the host to fix this the next day after noon. Host was very rude and said I was asleep till noon- (it’s not like I needed to check out as I was booked in for the entire week so I didn’t see the problem).
Second morning- unbearable construction noise, it sounded like someone was digging above our heads, there was no way we could get back to sleep after being woken up at 8am by this noise. I notified the host about the ridiculous noise as it was simply too loud for us to relax in peace as I came to Paris for vacation; the host just simply replied, this will go on for the whole week and you rent an apartment in Paris city centre, what do you expect?
I decided that I would cut the stay short because there’s no way I can sleep with that noise for a week. I had to book another airbnb immediately and move all my luggage and waste my time and money as well as the effort. The host agreed that they would not charge me for the remaining nights that I wouldn’t be staying, so we agreed and confirmed check out on the third morning. The host not only didn’t compensate me for any of the inconvenience caused. They charged me for an extra night that I didn’t stay at the property.
The property looks half decent but definitely cannot provide you the basics of an accommodation.
Encountering problems is very common, it’s how you deal with it as a host.
Host is not only rude, but they also comment on the time you sleep until and lies about the amount of money they agree to refund- you cannot do anything to claim this money back as Airbnb tell you it’s the host’s policy so they have the final say on how much they refund you no matter what proof you send to Airbnb, the host’s decision is final.
Definitely will not recommend- the pictures show that it is a nice building located on the corner, however to reach this you need to go through big doors and enter the construction site this building is located in.
Very misleading - would avoid
