One of the better Airbnb experiences I’ve ever had. I prize quiet, and this unit was very peaceful in that sense, with views out to La Defense and over a gorgeous, quintessentially Parisian courtyard. (Plus Eiffel Tower views from the hallway.)
The building is situated on a beautiful side street in a quiet neighborhood that nevertheless has everything you need nearby, and very convenient to the important Line 2, plus a 15-minute walk to Etoile/RER-A. It’s not right in the center of things, but it’s easy to access just about anything in the city within 1 change of train.
The 132 stairs up to the flat were no joke (yes, I counted!), but it’s not a problem if you’re in good shape. Consider it practice for climbing the Arc de Triomphe.
Jacqueline took the time to explain everything I needed to know, and also shared the interesting history of the unit. She also messaged me with useful info during my stay, including a once-a-year free museum night I wouldn’t have otherwise known about.
I plan to stay here again on my next to return Paris, if the place is available. It’s just right for a solo traveler. Thank you, Jacqueline!
