They say almost because the only things they don't provide are a blanket, sheets, and a pillow, so don't forget to bring yours. Unless you're moving to Paris where the blanket is provided for you. Prefer to travel light? You will have the option to subscribe to their Bedding Pack before moving in via the property app; they'll take care of these for you.

How do I deal with any issues during my stay?
