HOST :
I had the worst experience with this person, she trheated me with a lawyer, kick me off when she wanted to and discriminated me.
When I arrived to the studio she asked me if I was up to cancel my contract with Airbnb and pay her directly (please note that you wont have any garanty if thats the case). She also asked me to sign a « contract » that isnt a contract at all, just an inventory with the things that are inside the studio (they have the right to made you sign up for a contract but a proper one, not a word document with no legal sustenance). She also told me that if I used to much electricity I musted pay the rest (even if the add say that its included). She sended me not-official messages for visit the studio (you have the right to said no, you sign with Airbnb for a private place and no one can enter without your permission) but she entered anyways. One particulary day I was taking a nap and I hear the click of the key in the door and she was there, so the security isnt a garanted thing (I always had to take my savings and passport because I never couldnt know when she will break in). After one of the visits, she ask me if she could see the studio another time, I said no because I couldnt that day and ask her nicely to not enter to the study and she trheated me with her lawyer. She asked for money for buy her new thing for the studio because they were “broken » or « dirty » when wasnt the case, not via Airbnb, she exiged me to pay her in cash and right there. I was force to leave early because I wasnt feeling save and this person was trheating me via Whatsapp and calling me non stop, she canceled the reserve and leave me at the street in a foregin city where I have no contacts, I dont speak the language properly and I dont have a place to go. She taked advantage of my foreigner situation, I felt so vulnerable and discriminated.
GENERAL :
The studio is well located and near some subway stations (line 5, 10 and 7). The 6 floors are hard to scalete every day but you get used to. Its full with stuff that the owner left that are useless and take a lot of space (like a broken table, a gigantic freezer, a broken vacuum, a lot of chairs, olds and dirty newpapers and magazines, etc.). I do not recommend this studio during the winter, the host ask you to use an limited ammount of electricity per month and would demand to pay you the rest if you use more. I do not recommend this studio during the summer or spring, you have not an aircondicionated and not a fan and gets really hot in there.
BED AND SLEEP :
The studio is very tiny and old, you have a very noisy unconfortable sofabed, you bearly can move because its seems super fragile and any movement could wake up the whole building. At my arrive were no pillows or towels so I had to bought them, the owner said that she would give a refound but she didnt so now I have two more pillows and two more towels to carry.
KITCHEN :
The kitchenette its small but you can cook without a problem, the items are a lil old but they are fonctional, I had a only one dirty used old sponge to wash so I had to bought another too. I didnt have a place to leave the trash, only a super small plastic pink one trashcan.
BATHROOM :
The bathroom isnt that bad, except for the fact that you can only have 20 minutes of hot water (when you have water, around 2 PM hot water doesnt exist and you will have to wait at leats half hour) and you dont have a proper shower, only a tiny deep tube. The only tiny mirror in the whole studio are there.
TOILETTES :
The toilette outside is super unconfortable, the door doesnt close properly and have a timer for the light (max 30 seconds). I tried to never use it, only during the night when I couldnt go outside, I always went to the nice cafe downstairs or my school. You can always hear people coming up to a storage place that its across the halway and gets super noisy sometimes and of course that they use the bathroom.
