Don't USE Vacation in Paris!!

HI, I was the one with lots of problems with Vacation in Paris. Our original flat was horrendously dirty (read my previous posts if you want details) and when we insisted on chanding, they told us they would charge extra (50 USD) and now we have over 200 dollars on our credit card from them. We are now contesting the charges with our credit card company.

They were rude, didn%26#39;t answer emails on time and had the worst onsite guy that I had ever encountered. They also left us for one day (and you travellers know that one day is a lot on a vacation) waiting around for them to do something about our apartment with our luggage in hand.

I highly recommend against using them.

Which apartment did you rent? We have already book with Vacation in Paris and we are very nervous. Did they tell you they wanted to mail the apartment key to you before leaving on your trip. We asked that the agent or owner meet us at the apartment to give us the key.

I think it%26#39;s very important to know which apartment it was, as my understanding is that the owners themselves are responsible for cleaning, etc. In other words, other than problems about the agency%26#39;s responsiveness, the basic issue (cleanliness of the apartment) may be down to the owner and not the agency (although, of course, they need to take appropriate steps when notified that owners have not done what is necessary in that regard).

I have stayed in a Vacation in Paris flat (near the Musee d%26#39;Orsay) and liked it a great deal. For the most part, they get also great reviews and have a lot of enthusiastic fans on this site. I don%26#39;t necessarily think that the obviously unfortunate and unsatisfactory experience you have recounted is enough for everyone to avoid them.

Also, I%26#39;m not clear why you have posted about this subject again - has there been some further issue, which you feel shoudl be mentioned by way of an update?

Sorry, I just realized that this post actually is quite out of date.
