This apartment is described as “luxueux”, and “having all the equipment necessary for you to feel at home”. However, many things we all have at home, and expect to have at ANY vacation rental, are just not there. If the listing does not mention it, you just do not get it. Examples: • Does the listing mention a table and chairs? No, there are none. • Does the listing mention space for your clothes? No, there are no closets, armoires, hanging bars, drawers, or hooks. Just a small cabinet with 2 shelves partially occupied by towels. • Does the listing mention kitchen utensils? No, there are only some pots and pans, a couple of wooden spoons, and a corkscrew. For example, no cutting boards, knives, or can openers. • The “vaissellerie biologique” includes wooden disposable cutlery, plastic disposable glasses, and regular glasses and coffee cups, but NO PLATES of any kind. • And the most unusual detail: the kitchen (described as a “cuisine américaine”) DOES NOT HAVE A SINK! Seriously, can anyone think that American kitchens, or even kitchenettes, do not have running water? Other details: • The bar, the only possible eating space, supposed to accommodate 4 people, is 1,20m (48”) on one side and less than half that on the other, and only 46 cm (18”) wide. Also, it is about 1,15m (45”) high. The architect must be a tall, thin person indeed… • The listing says 1.5 baths. There is only one. • The listing says elevator. There is an elevator in the building, but to reach the apartment you do not use it, you need to negotiate 10 steps. Finally, there was the wifi situation. When we arrived, we tried to connect to the network, but it was not found by our phones and tablets. We decided to contact the host (Diane was originally listed as host, but at some point, emails from Airbnb started showing Leslie’s name). Leslie responded that the network worked perfectly. After we reiterated that our devices could not find the network, she asked that we send her a picture of the network box, based on which she “diagnosed” that the network was fine and our devices were at fault (we knew they were indeed working). Later she mentioned sending a technician, which never happened, until at some point she said she was not going to do anything else regarding wifi. After several hours, a “wifi déactivé” message showed in the box, and after several more hours, the network suddenly became available. It looks like she managed to have the network reconnected, while still insisting that our devices were at fault. What struck us most was how dismissive and unwilling to help she was. Very disappointing. In the end, when we realized that the apartment and the host were what they were (and were not going to change), we decided not to waste more time trying to communicate with her. Instead we concentrated in enjoying our limited time in Paris, which we...
