The apartment is nice enough and in a good location for the area. The issues are with the host and listing. Upon arrival, I was told I needed to pay 130 in cash for a "linen fee". This information is nowhere in VRBO and was not communicated prior to the day of arrival. This cash was required to get the keys. Being in a foreign country with nowhere else to go, I had no choice but to pay. I am currently escalating the situation with VRBO.Furthermore, only one bath towel per guest was provided. When I asked if any hand or face towels were available, I was told "No. Everything in the listing is provided." The listing says towels are provided. It is reasonable to expect that would include towels to dry my hands in the bathroom and kitchen. Linen fee?! Lastly, the checkout instructions are extreme and the guests are expected to strip beds, wash dishes/empty the dishwasher and put away, clean the entire place before leaving, and take out trash. With checkout being a very early 10am, I am not sure how I am supposed to use any dishes the morning of departure and make sure they are clean if I am unable to use the dishwasher and have no towels to dry any dishes I just washed.FYI: there are two beds in the loft and the stairs are very steep and small. There is a handrail on the wall, but not on the exposed side. This can be dangerous and you must be careful.This is a wonderful area of France, and this community is nice. Avoid this listing and seek other accommodation.
