This apartment was well located just a block away from the French quatre and the decorations were true to the pictures. Also, the host was quick to respond to requests. However, while there we had several bad experiences in this place. First, upon arriving we noted that the pictures were taken from far away but up close it was not clean, with thick coats of dust on baseboards and sprinklers and stains on the carpets. There was quite a bit of damage, indicating it was not well maintained. While there was an oven, there was no oven pan and so it was practically useless. I had stepped on a sewing needle in the carpet near the foot of the bed, leading me to believe they don't vacuum often. And when we went to pull out the sofa bed it was broken with one leg completely sawed-off. Furthermore, the building itself had many issues. Including poo in the hallway on our floor for five days and huge cockroaches in the hallways. The security also left something to be lacking. When we checked in they were incredibly rude, barely speaking to us. When one of our guests left in the middle of the night to catch their flight they rode the elevator down with several bloody and agitated individuals who had been involved in the multiple murder two floors up from us that night. Once she arrived in the lobby the security was nowhere to be found and she had to wait there with the bloody suspects for her shuttle to arrive. The impression I got once booking this airbnb is that it was owned by a company that gave little care to the apartment we stayed at. While it seemed like Kay might be a person I think in fact they are a company. We came to the conclusion that this is a brilliant way to have a cheaper hotel that costs about the same but that they could skip costs on the service and housekeeping. I am concerned that the fee I paid for cleaning is not being used to hire cleaners at all. Overall we were quite disappointed with our stay and would not recommend this to anyone.
