  Ruined our 4 days in Paris

  02 Jul 2018

  We booked based on information provided on Trip Advisor. That the apartment was only 20 minutes from Paris, that it had Air conditioning, that it had all these amenities. Nope. First, it took 1 hour by taxi to get here on a Sunday afternoon. We couldn't find the place and as soon as we did, the taxi driver started yelling at us why we would stay all the way out here and cursed having to drive back. Our first impression is a very stinky hallway that leads to our apartment. I will say the actual apartment is very nice. New kitchen, updated bathroom. This was the only good thing. Of course there is no A.C. it is 40 degrees in Clamart and we are suffocating. Again, I went on the info the hotel provided that said A.C. was provided. I actually emailed the owner twice about this. Once before our visit to confirm it had A.C, and after asking why did you mislead us. No response. When we keep the doors open to let fresh air in, all we smell is the thick cigarette smoke from the other neighbors. Disgusting. So here we sit sweating horribly and can barely sleep. We are awoken to construction noises - there goes the "quaint" neighborhood. In fact this is not a charming little town, but a lower middle class factory city with no cafes and only snack restaurants unless you want to get on a public transportation and look for something. We ended up eating eggs that we bought from a local bogeda so we could eat something. Two meals in France were scrapping what ever food we could find from the convenience store across the street- how romantic. Swimming pool! Theater! Activities! Actually no. There is a community pool and you need to be a member of the community to use it.Now...according to your information, it takes 20 minutes to Paris. No it doesn't. It takes between 40-60 minutes and 3 changes in public transportation to get to Paris. See my screenshots. We were shocked to get here and realize how far it actually takes. This two hour ride takes out so much time out of the few days we have in France. This is so misleading and false advertising. So many things about this place is falsely advertised. We contacted booking.com to help us. They contacted the owner and they brought us one fan. That's great. One small fan for a 2 bedroom apartment. Do we cut it into half so we both get to use it at night? The owners have not been helpful besides bringing the one fan and have yet to respond to my emails.
