Etienne responded quickly to communications however the apartment was not ready for our arrival. There were also issues with parking. The neighbors whom we met said the host asks guests to park where they are not supposed to. The entrance to the building was cordoned off with caution tape. The space smelled strongly of stale cigarette smoke. When we contacted the host he said the cleaning person must not have come but ”don’t worry”, she will be there. After that we decided to leave. We let the host know we were leaving. Locked all the doors. Returned the keys to the safe. The host did not respond.
