Pros:
Check in: Pierre (our point of contact for this Airbnb) was gracious enough to allow my husband and I to check in an hour and a half early. We were met at the door and it was a very smooth check in.
Location: very close to metro stations and tons to do in the neighborhood. Plus, it was great to be on the first floor but also feel very secure behind a gated entrance. Although the apartment was super central, it felt quiet and peaceful.
The bed was also very comfortable!
Cons:
Cleanliness: the bathroom was quite unacceptable. The shower curtain had been tied up while wet, trapping stale water and mildew. There was grime at the bottom of the curtain as well as in all of the corners of the shower. The mildew smell was so strong that we made sure to keep the bathroom door closed at all times otherwise it would stink up the apartment. We did bring this to Pierre and Antoine's attention on the first day, we sent photos and let them know that we'd skipped our showers due to the state of the shower and would be gone on a day trip until 7pm. We let them know that we would leave the key in the lockbox so that it could be cleaned while we were gone. Pierre eventually responded and offered to have someone come out the following day to clean it, but we couldn't wait another day to shower so we just dealt with it.
I hate to leave a bad review. Overall, if the bathroom wasn't so bad we would stay again. I hope that this issue gets addressed for the following guests.
