The host’s instructions for getting into the house were unclear and inaccurate. No key was left for us to get in. We struggled to get in touch with her, even though we let her know our arrival time beforehand. We were waiting for an hour, and she sent some random man to let us in. Engaging with the host was difficult, she was rude and whilst we used a translator, she refused to meet us halfway and use one (citing that there are no translators) so we had to try and decipher her French. The place was cluttered, it smelled of smoke and there was no place for personal storage.
That being said, we did enjoy our trip to Paris, there were plenty of transport links and amenities. We did have a special request which the host kindly accommodated (roses and champagne on arrival).
