Romain's apartment is, without any exaggeration, an absolute gem. Communication was above and beyond, the space was clean and welcoming, and it is just an incredible apartment in an incredible neighborhood. The kitchen is one of the nicest I've seen in Paris and had everything we would have needed to cook although there are so many good restaurants within a few minutes' walk that we barely used it. Everything is modern and updated, with a new washer, dishwasher, great bathroom, and the bed was comfortable. This represents the best of Airbnb, where the hosts genuinely seem to enjoy sharing an environment they have created and love with others. I lived in this neighborhood years ago and relied upon Romain to give me updated recommendations for everything from bakeries to a cobbler, all of which were provided instantly and with care and thoroughness. I would love to stay here again.
