I went through the good, the bad, and the ugly during my stay at Victor’s. The good : the apartment is centrally located and overall clean. The bad : it is not « near Republic » as advertised, which is a nice area, but « near Chateau d’eau », which is a much less desirable neighborhood and had my boyfriend wonder why I would choose to stay in such a sketchy area. Unfortunately, you find out about the actual neighborhood only after you book the place. The bad still : there was no toilet paper upon arrival and I had to buy my own. There was no bath mat as other reviewers have mentioned, until we found said bathmat in the washing machine 5 days later, drenched, moldy and smelly. As reported previously by others, the bathroom really needs work, the faucet is not attached to the sink, the shower has no curtain… a renovation so needed that the shower head holder fell on me while I was showering. I believe this qualifies as bad as well. I also had to walk half a kilometer with my suitcase to give the keys back because Victor did not plan ahead enough for us to drop them at the closer place we picked them up at, even if I gave him a week notice about our check out plans. At this point, I was still not planning to leave a bad review, because hiccups happen. But here comes the ugly : Victor asked me to pay for the shower head holder that fell on me. You read this right. Airbnb ended up siding with me, agreeing that I did not break anything, and I did not have to pay, but this tells you everything you need to know about this place and its owner.
