Great studio apartment in a great location — even better than expected. From the description on AirBnB, I frankly wasn’t sure if this apartment would be more like a room in a house or an apartment. On arrival it was unambiguously clear. This is a top floor studio apartment in a typical 6-story Parisian townhouse apartment building with a circular staircase that wraps around an elevator. It’s not air conditioned, but even on hot summer days — and as someone who really likes AC — there was always a cool pleasant breeze that kept it comfortable.
The apartment is terrific. Lots of light and air when you want it; blackout shades by the bed for sleeping. Nice big bed, comfortable sheets. A desk & chair for working. A kitchenette with a coffee maker, cooking equipment and supplies. A dining table & chairs. A sofa & stools for sitting. A big, flatscreen TV. And a nice bathroom & big closet for clothes. Plenty of electrical outlets, too.
The location in the 6th is, in my view, ideal. Right off Jardins de Luxembourg, with endless cafes and shops all around, and a lovely walk away from the Seine.
And Eric, the host, was very responsive, friendly and available to help with any suggestions, as needed. Nice guy.
All around, this was a great pick. I’d happily stay there again if I get the chance to return to Paris.
