- One entrepreneur offered to lend several of his dwellings in Strasbourg city center free of charge. He reserves them for hospital staff.
- Since his publication on Facebook, he has been attacked by phone calls, not always serious or appropriate. But its 3 apartments were sold.
- Other owners have followed his idea ...
His Facebook post almost went viral. More than 13,000 shares and comments all more complimentary than the last. The post in question? "I inform you to make available to hospital staff all of our furnished apartments available to date in downtown Strasbourg", it is notably written by Paul *, who prefers to remain anonymous.
"I wouldn't want us to take it all for a publicity stunt and get into a controversy," he said. It must also be said that this "private individual passionate about renovating old apartments" rented afterwards, has been attacked by phone calls since his announcement. “I first had real estate agencies who offered to take my property under management, I found it indecent. Then profiteers tried their luck ... But there were also people who really needed it. "

Like "this Nancy civil protection team which comes to strengthen the Hautepierre University Hospital". Two of these people will be accommodated, from this evening in one of Paul's apartments *. "For the other two that I have available at the moment, it should be for a stroke of doctors who come from Nice to help and certainly a resuscitator," says the entrepreneur, who decided to favor the caregivers. "Because they are exhausted and can't always go home, or can't waste time doing it. "
This idea came to him from a somewhat special request from one of his regular customers. “A senior manager who was to move in in April told me that he couldn't come and that he wanted me to keep the apartment for free for him… I didn't like it and I said to myself that if I left book, I preferred to do it for people who really needed it. "
"I may be taking a risk but it seems fair"
All will just have to pay a "package of 40 euros per stay". "I take charge of water, internet, electricity, but it's just for cleaning," says Paul *, who admits that he doesn't know how to do it. As is the case with insurance matters. "I'm trying to find out but I plan to disinfect the keys," he promises, admitting to feeling "strong opposition from [his] family circle" for his initiative. "I may be taking a risk, but it seems fair to me. "
A feeling shared by Aurore Bourreau, she also owns a home in Strasbourg and she too ... sharing. "I did not know what to do with my AirBnb apartment in Petite France and it was when I saw the publication of this gentleman that it seemed obvious to me," said the forty-something man. “I called him and he gave me the coordinates of a firefighter who came from Marseille. My next client is in May, he has time to stay! "
"It will be my contribution"
Will she brave confinement to give her host the keys to the studio? "No, but my neighbor upstairs will throw him from the 3rd floor, we will limit the risks." And for cleaning, we'll see after. If we have to pay a company, I will do it, it will be my contribution to everything that happens, ”she concludes, hoping that her initiative will inspire other owners.
