Not even the most awesome location and view of the Eiffel Tower can make up for this horrible place! I am blown away by the great reviews this place has. It's mind boggling to me that anyone can positively rate this dump! Cheap is the only word I can use to describe it.
1. They have only one set of keys for management and guest. My wife and I had to coordinate our times coming and going if we left separately. They told us to just leave the keys under the mat - WTH!
2. Check in was late... we arrived early to drop off our bags (which was nice) and returned at the appointed time 3PM only to find the cleaner still here. We waited until 3:45 but he was not done. He had yet to sweep and/or mop the floors. and who knows what else he needed to do (note below the mouse poop)!! We asked him to just leave as we needed desperately to take a nap from our long flight.
3. Once we got in, we immediately noticed that LARGE CHUNKS of paint were falling from the ceiling; the not even the IKEA quality furniture (at best) was worn and tattered and the decorative furniture pieces shown in the ad photos were not in the apartment; the lights in the kitchen were burnt-out (though they asked for picture of the burnt out light bulb before replacing go figure), lights in the main room fixture did not work though we later noted they were just unscrewed, and there were no lights in the elevator hallway, causing a safety concern in case of an emergency. We were told the lights in the elevator hallway were not their responsibility!
Note, the worn-out furniture quality was maybe something you'd see in a college dorm room, not in a $700+ per night AirBnB! A total disappointment... No bureau for clothes, only hangers in the closet, so we dressed out of our luggage.
4. We are here for a 9-night stay, there are no kitchen towels in the kitchen at all, not a cutting board, not even a dish rack.!There were no washroom washcloths for the hands or face and only 2-rolls of toilet paper. The ONE garbage can liner in the kitchen was so thin, it broke upon removal.
5. The electrical appliance cords are nowhere near an outlet and must be plugged-in via an extension cord that extends directly over the stove-top! So not cooking while making coffee either!
6. We found mouse droppings all under the sink. My wife noticed them earlier but thought it was just dirt. When I went to look for garbage bags I noted it was mouse poop!
7. The sink in the bathroom backs up with only a little water. They asked for a picture before they would fix it - which they never did!
We filed a complaint with AirBnB and left early as soon as we could find suitable hotel - again they ask we leave key under mat because it is the only one! What kind of business is this!
