The location of this apartment is amazing. It’s the best area with restaurants downstairs and some cute shops. It’s very close to the station too! As a single female I felt really safe and it was great.
The apartment in the photos wasn’t the one I stayed in - which is really odd. The apartment was super lovely though... but it’s very small (big enough for just me though). The bed is a sofa bed, it was very comfy the first few nights but after almost 5 nights I thought it might be giving me a sore back. There’s no seperate bedroom, just one room plus a bathroom.
It’s a bit of a weird situation. I don’t think Paul is a real person, I think it’s a marketing or property management company. They put me in contact with someone called David who is in France who I needed to contact about check in (and only via WhatsApp or phone). Then David put me in contact with Patrick who actually lives in the building but can’t speak English too well. He’s lovely though.
It became an issue when I tried to extend my stay by one night via Paul, paid for it via AirBnB, and then was asked to leave the next day by Patrick, who then couldn’t understand that I had paid for the room, so I had to call David... who explained he’d told Paul it wasn’t available another night. It turned out it wasn’t available for the extra night so I had to pack up and leave within an hour and book a hotel for a night. Patrick then came back in less than an hour a bit confused as to when I was leaving. This is probably just one bad luck experience.
They very graciously let me check in late, which was really helpful. And in general, the communication response times were fast.
I probably wouldn’t stay here again though just given theres three people to communicate with and I felt in the end it was probably a bit too expensive. The location is amazing though!
