value for money but will give you stress

the apartment resembles the picture. distance from metro is also truly represented. the property was clean and well maintained. The shower was especially nice and hot after a long day of walk. these are all the good things.
However, the challenge was to pick up the key from a different spot other than the apartment. The instruction (one entire page) is not bad but complicated for a foreigner, e.g get to address A, then punch a door code and then go up several floor and then get to a safe, get the key and then leave money in the safe, etc. Then after getting the key, go to address B for your apartment. Imagine if you have 3 pieces of luggage and a child after a red eye flight in a foreign country, does it sound right for you? This could only be worse if your flight arrives late in Paris. How about if the code fails to open the safe. What is the Plan B? Luckily we finally meet a representative that the owner send, so I can give the cash and exchange keys with a live person.
Besides the key to the main lobby does not work well. We are so worry that we will break the key. Even the apartment door key is challenging to work with.
If I am visiting again, i will pick an apartment that have a live person that I can talk to and there is no need for a different address for keys.
