Quentin is an amazing host, always in communication and concerned that we had everything we needed, he went above and beyond. As a matter of fact, this week in Paris was very warm and he had sent us fans- Dysons no less- to keep us cool in the heat. We could not have asked for a better host. About the flat itself, beautifully decorated, it is truly a Parisian gem. Located in the 11th district, the flat is a few steps away from the Metro with a 20 minute community into the city center. The Marais is approximately a 10-15 minute walk and is the ideal area if you want boutique shopping and more intimate sight seeing.
The flat itself is located in the back of the building and is incredibly quiet. Light and airy, the sunshines into the flat during all times of the day. Quentin has even provided eye shades to address the morning sun- although we loved the early light. The beds are soft and comfortable, the showers work well and are lovely- the smaller shower serves its purpose as well well and is a nice to have. As for television, if you have a Netflix pass, you can watch your tv shows when you are too tired to go out. The kitchen is fully stocked with water, a few snacks and most importantly Nespresso. The decor is chic and stylish- a lovely space to surround yourself in.
The only thing to keep in mind is that like most old buildings, they were not built for noise control and as guests you need to be mindful of the residents downstairs and not stomp around or run appliances late at night- typical for any older apartment in any European city. We appreciated the control as it kept our stay peaceful and quiet. Overall, an amazing stay and we could not recommend a better AirBnb in Paris and a truly remarkable host!
