Our host, Coco, was in France on the day of our scheduled arrival and did not answer the only phone number we were given to reach her. We began calling at 10am the morning of our arrival day to set up a meeting time for check in. We called, texted and emailed all day, giving 2 separated phone numbers to reach us, but there was no response. We arrived at the time we gave in the messages (3:30pm), stood in the street ringing the bell and waiting for 30 minutes then finally called Airbnb who called us back within 15min. They had other numbers on file for her and finally reached someone. Pablo arrived in a cab after 5pm. When Coco eventually called she said "Sorry for the late check in but I'm in a Congress in Cannes and my phone is always off". Other comments were made about her frustration with us for contacting Airbnb, and a general attitude of not taking any responsibility. She could have simply given us another number that wasn't turned off, or have someone else contact us, both of our phones worked fine.
The apartment is nicely decorated, and the listing has AC, however, in her instructions she says you can not use it at night or she will take money from your security deposit. It gets very hot in the summer which makes sleeping difficult with no AC.
If Coco was in the country or had remembered to give us another contact, then it may have been a more positive experience, but I would not count on that when booking in advance.
