Stop right here! You WANT to stay here during your stay in Paris! It was our first time visiting Paris and it was suggested that we try Airbnb. I was very leery because we always go the hotel route. After getting educated on what area to stay in, I narrowed my search and when the picture and description came up, I was impressed! The fact that there was a king sized bed was also a huge incentive.
All I can say is our host was engaging from the very beginning of the process. He answered all of my questions and sent information prior to our trip about the distance from the airport along with all the particulars about checking in. He was right there to greet us when we pulled up and he proceeded to orient us to the area ( with maps)and Paris in general. Prior guests leave cards to their favorite restaurants and cafe’s.
The apartment is immaculate and since the owner is an architect, the space was well thought out and maximized.
There is only one caveat and that is you have to climb 4 flights of stairs to get to the apartment! We weren’t ready for that but..... by the end of the week we could do it without pausing in between. So if your physically fit and don’t mind a little exercise, you will be fine just don’t have a heavy suitcase!
Overall, we highly recommend this space. We will book again if we ever return to Paris. The location was perfect for our needs. Lots of shopping and restaurants in walking distance and close to metro.
So again, look no further. You’ve hit the jackpot!
