Everything leading up to our stay was great and Pierre's communication with us was quick and informative. He even allowed us to have a slightly early check-in which we appreciated. The check-in process was our first hiccup though. We were told that we'd need to collect the key off site and that we'd be told where that location was (sounded just fine). I messaged a couple of times the morning of our check in to find out pick-up location and never heard back. When we arrived we still didn't know where to find the key to get in to the apartment. I had to find a way to get online and call the host via Skype to find out the pick-up location.
We knew the apartment would be small and it fits city standards (pretty compact). It's a bit better suited to a young family that two couples sharing. We (in our 30s) took my parents (in their 60s) and it was a bit tight for the 4 of us with one small, shared bathroom. There are also many stairs to climb so older people with any issues climbing should be aware of that. I was fine with it though luggage was a bit of a task!
Our big issue - and what really left a bad taste in our mouth - was after check out. We stayed ONE night. My parents stayed two nights in total. Upon leaving we were presented with a bill for a broken bed piece (over $200) on the bedroom that was used a single night. We didn't notice anything when we checked in (we didn't survey the house/room though maybe we should have) and didn't pay attention to anything when we left but we slept in the bed all of 7 hours one single night and otherwise weren't really in the apartment as we were out exploring. I felt like I was put in a really bad position: I wanted the host to know that we're honest, fair people but also didn't feel right being presented with a bill for something that we knew nothing about. All in all, a bad unfortunate ending to an otherwise great trip.
