We were so so grateful and extremely lucky to have Paolo accept my booking request at such last minute notice considering i sent about 12 booking requests, each time being rejected due to being there during Paris Fashion Week. It couldn't have been more perfect as we were surprisingly pleased with the authentic Parisian apartment perfect for my first Parisian experience.
Paolo had organised for his housekeeper to meet me at the apartment to show me around, however she communicated in French and I just got the translation through body language.
Located in Bastille, a happening hub with its own flavour to it away from the cliches of Paris but still Parisian enough with the weekend markets up the road, bars and restaurants galore to explore and conveniently located around the corner from the Ledru Rollin station.
The apartment is vintage Parisian with a lot of fine details adding a nice touch to those like me who appreciate attention to detail. The cupboards are fully stocked for a dinner party, Paolo has the pantry filled with staples to use at your avail and the bathroom has all the towels and toiletries you need in case you forgot your own.
There's a washer/dryer, so convenient!
The sofa bed as is the main bed are comfortable.
All in all the experience was so much more than I imagined, Paolo touched base with me via msgs on airbnb and we spoke over the phone - beautiful human being.
Beautiful apartment for an authentic Parisian stay
