Disappointing
In full disclosure, rented two apartments in Paris across back to back weeks with onefinestay. The first apartment was lovely and as advertised. Everything was as promised. Unfortunately, the second apartment was misrepresented. The team did not check if what was listed matched with what was delivered. One of the advertised rooms was locked shut with the television in it. OneFineStay apologized that they could not deliver as advertised. Also, the oven was not checked in advance so it was turned off. They did fix the oven and after requesting compensation (they did not offer) for lack of room/TV access, received 10% off a future stay. Unfortunately, our stay in this apartment makes us not trust their future offerings and, hence, the two star rating.

"Host" families: be warned !!
I'm a One Fine Stay "host" (ie. rented my house through them), and had a truly truly TERRIBLE experience with them this ummer. We came home to thousands of dollars of damage for which One Fine Stay completely shirked responsibility. And expensive fixes for minor issues that occurred during the rental were debited from our account. I've had good experiences with them in the past -- they pay you less than you'd get from Air BnB / VRBO ... but you don't have to prep the house at all and you're meant to be protected from the stresses. Ha. This summer was dramatically different AND I WRITE THIS AS A WARNING TO ANY OTHER "HOST" FAMILIES a) If anything goes wrong, big or small, they bring out the most expensive people to fix, who then testify that the problem was pre-existing, so that the repair gets charged to the homeowner! They debit the expensive repairs from your account. It's not ideal but what can you do, it's in the small print. b) But then bigger things went wrong : -- guests were unable to lock a patio door, a One Fine Stay team member came out and, by their own admission, tried for 30 mins to make it work (obviously not being familiar with the mechanism, and likely broke it), an inept/dishonest locksmith came out, falsely reported that the door had an unusual lock from Europe (untrue: I am now dealing with the regional supplier of the door who laughed when I told him this), and the locksmith then disassembled the mechanism, and jammed the [now broken] door shut. Incredibly the locksmith said the door had pre existing problems that were due to the lock facing the sun which warped the plastic inside (again the door rep laughed out loud : ITS A DOOR, ITS MEANT TO FACE THE SUN!), which allowed One Fine Stay to say Yeah so sorry Homeowner, pre-existing problem it's on you. I'm still waiting to find out how much the repair will be, but it wont be cheap. -- guests reversed out of the driveway and hit the gate that was in the process of closing. dented their rental car. camera footage showed what happened, and also showed the guests trying to fix the gate that had come off its rails and in the process likely broke some metalwork. they manipulated the gate for 5 mins before forcing it open. They could have left it open like that and driven out, but instead One Fine Stay called out their (expensive) gate guy, he dismantled it, left a $900 invoice (duly debited from our account) and offered a $3,000 gate fix proposal. And then One Fine Stay told me the impact had trapped the guests inside the driveway (either the guests lied or One Fine Stay lied) and that's why they *HAD TO call the gate guy to let them drive their car out! The gate guy said there was a fault with the gate installation (we've lived in the house for 4 years with zero problems) I had the footage to show everyone was lying but they didn't care : sorry Homeowner, we deducted rental car insurance deductible, and the gate guy's fees from your account, and you have to deal with the fix yourself. To their credit, they are taking responsibility for stains on a carpet/sofa, and sharpie marks on a coffee table. But with this other bigger stuff I was actually stunned by the way we were treated. No logic, no sense. Just doggedly protecting their margin. I get it, they want to create the most optimal experience for their Guests, but us Homeowners got absolutely trampled.

Working with One Fine Stay was oustanding!
Working with One Fine Stay was outstanding. They communicated timely, they had excellent concierge options and they were extremely responsive to any request. Everyone I dealt with was very kind and helpful. I look forward to booking another visit with One Fine Stay!

Wonderful from start to finish
From the moment I inquired, the hands on concierge service was outstanding. The apartment was beautiful and it was made all the more special with hotel bedding, towels and toiletries. The staff was remarkably attentive and helpful. Cannot wait to book with OFS again.
