The thought struck us early, and it persisted throughout our two-week stay: Thanks to Airbnb, we had found the ideal Paris apartment. As other reviewers have noted, it is located just steps from a main-line Metro station, a five-minute walk from a well-stocked supermarket and wine shop, and close to a bustling and picturesque street market abundant with an enormous variety of fresh foods and flowers. In a well-cared-for mid-nineteenth-century (1852-1870) Haussmann building, the apartment offers memorable views of a slice of Classical Paris. Every glance from each window reminds the tenant that he or she is truly in a special place. Francis was the perfect host: never intrusive, always available. We found the large and comfortable apartment spotlessly clean and equipped to anticipate a full range of its occupants needs. We hope that others will enjoy it as thoroughly as we did.
