Pick A Flat's Apartments in Daumesnil - Avenue du General Bizot

Les équipements de la cuisine, la climatisation dans les pièces de vie, la propreté et l’aspect récent des salles de bain et la disponibilité et le côté arrangeant du personnel au téléphone. Commerces de proximité très pratiques.

Immeuble sans charme.

Conforme aux photos

L’appartamento è come in foto: pulito e con letti comodi. La metto è davvero vicina e ci sono dei negozi per fare colazione e comprare della frutta

Mancano degli appendiabiti e qualche gancio in bagno per le asciugamani

Cleaning was very good. Apartment was comfortable. Nice area in Paris (but not a nice building) Close to Metro, and good local shops.

The booking through Booking.com was a nightmare. No clear info about damage deposit to be paid a week before stay, in the description of the apartment. Booking.com had been hacked, and send out a warning that booking data had been stolen, and that I should neglect any further demands. Booking.com stated "no further payments needed. If you receive mail about additional payments, then it is probably a scam". BUT - it is part of PickAFlats procedure to demand a credit card security for possible damages a week before the stay, before they will inform about the key-codes for the apartment. This is communicated in mails from PickAFlat, send via booking.com, who removes the links to the pages PickAFlat uses to require copy of passport and a damage deposit. There is a security deposit between 300 and 800 Euros for damages - depending on the apartment. But - there is no list of what is supposed to be in the apartment, and the content was strange : 2 cups, 5 glasses, no breadknife, 4 flat plates, 2 deep plates. I wondered what missing items we would have to pay for. You must wait 3 weeks, after the stay, before you are informed whether PickAFlat has made any damage claim. (They did not, but the missing checklist leaves you in limbo) Bottom line : flat is OK and PickAFlat as a business is OK - BUT booking.coms and PickAFlats business models does not fit at all. Booking.com customersupport denies that booking.com removes links, but logically it does not make sense, that PickAFlat should send out mails where they themselves removes the links to the sites they want you to fill out. The communication before the stay required more that 50 mails, back and forth, and the damage deposit problem was not solved until I called PickAFlat on the phone, and gave them my private e-mail, thereby circumventing Booking.com. Communicating with PickAFlat in English was not a problem.
