TheBlueStay 11 - Cosy appartement Paris 2

😊: A disaster. We didn't stay at the property and booked a 3-star hotel located 4 blocks from Arc de Triomph for the same price at the last minute. So it's not "you get what you pay for." There is a reason it's not refundable. There is a reason they don't show you pictures of the common areas of the building. It's falling to pieces. Literally. The apartment is on the 5th floor, no elevator. Normal for Paris, but the stairs were collapsing, the steps were loose and there were pieces of wood everywhere, the handrails, also wood, were torn apart in several places. It was impossible to go up those stairs with luggage. The fact that it is on the 5th floor with no elevator is the first thing one should read when booking. Instead, it's the last sentence. But especially, they should show pictures of what the stairs actually look like. No one would book it. The property owners washed their hands and said it was common areas of the building and not their responsibility. How am I supposed to get to the apartment without using the common areas?. 😢: This property shouldn't be on booking.com. There were a lot of negative reviews between the moment I booked and the time we arrived, talking about the same, mentioning bedbugs and how they didn't even stay there. They do business like this, apparently. I'm attaching pictures of the place. It looked like a construction site, literally. It's dangerous for anyone, especially for the elderly. My mom tripped and fell trying to go up one floor. I made it to the fifth floor and went back down immediately and booked something else. Paris is expensive, yes. It's not the most accessible, agreed. But this place is inhabitable. On top of that, I contacted the property and they told me they'd get support and then went silent. They never offered another apartment or any solution. A day before my alleged check out date they sent me an automated message reminding, like I never told them I wasn't staying there and I wanted a refund. Like I said, we booked Hotel Des Deux Avenues that same night, which is located a couple of blocks from Champs Elysees for less, where our room was bigger than this whole apartment, we had good natural light, and even a kettle and a minifridge. We are getting booking to refund us..

😊: Nice apartment, comfortable bathroom. Good location. Please note that the apartment is on the 5th floor without an elevator. Apartments in Paris are overpriced. For this price , apartment is ok. The owner allowed us to check in 1 hour early (thank you)!. 😢: There was no Wi-Fi from the first day, no one could help. Couch wasn't comfortable enough..
