This was my first Airbnb experience, and Madeleine exceeded all expectations. She and I messaged several times before the visit so I felt very comfortable staying at her place. She met us at there and took the time to personally show us around her neighborhood, including the metro stop. Madeleine is a super generous host, providing lots of extras and messaging me during the stay to answer questions, provide suggestions, and make sure we had everything we needed. Her neighborhood has it all within a few block radius; I felt like a local when I went to the shops. It was wonderful to eat meals in, especially breakfast in her beautiful back garden. The only drawback: upstairs neighbors walking on creaky floors, so just bring earplugs for a good night's sleep. Other than that, I highly recommend Madeleine's lovely flat and very kind hospitality.
