This was my first Airbnb experience and it was so much better than I could have imagined! Carine and her husband were on vacation and their lovely friend met me for the keys and to explain the rules of the house. I left them a deposit cheque like they asked without reservation. Upon entry, I was amazed at how their studio looked exactly like the photos (you never know!) and I was in love. I spent a total of 11 nights there and did not want to leave! The bed was cozy with fresh sheets that I could wash in their new washing machine. They had a Bang & Olufsen stereo system with beautiful speakers which for an audiophile like me was a godsend.

The kitchen had a fancy glass stove top that allowed me to cook my meals indoors. A large fridge and sink and cupboard space also made me feel right at home. The Nespresso machine was easy to use and convenient.

The bathroom was spacious and had a heated towel rack! The tub was giant and fit to soak for hours in. Unfortunately I didn't get around to doing that.

The skylights were very helpful on sunny days! And the WiFi always worked. The location was about a ten minute walk from the Pompidou and had a Velib station across the street.

My superlatives, although abundant are necessary to illustrate how great my experience with this host was. In the end, I was unable to leave by the desired noon check-out time and they understood to let me get my things a few hours later without problems.

I would definitely stay here again!
