This was the best Airbnb experience (of many) I've ever had!
I can't say enough good things about Gabrielle's apartment--the feel, the amenities, the location, the style, the grace, the hospitality, etc. Both she and Patricia (her property manager) were incredibly kind and informative with local tips. Being on this quiet, charming street about a block from the Louve was unbelievable. The location is also quite central to St. Germain, Champs D'Elysses, the Marais, and the northern areas of Paris (Montmartre, Sacre Coeur, etc). Her guest had had to cancel their booking and Gabrielle told me she had only posted it on Airbnb seven minutes before we booked it. We were extremely lucky to get it. If you are able to book this amazing apartment, don't hesitate!
I don't usually write such effusive reviews, but, like I said, this was our best Airbnb experience ever! Thanks for everything, Gabrielle and Patricia!
