Muriel's Airbnb was an absolute delight from start to finish. The apartment is a studio with a double bed, a small but cozy kitchen, and a full bathroom. It's located in the Clichy area of Paris with markets, grocery stores, and transportation very easily accessed.
The apartment was clean and easy to find. Muriel was an excellent communicator and even met us later than the proposed time as our flight was delayed. She made sure we were settled in and comfortable during the check-in process, providing us with spare sheets and ample towels for our stay.
One of the best features of the apartment is the fact that it is literally across the street from the Guy Moquet stop on the metro line, and there are also a number of bus stops on the street as well. That saved us a lot of time while in Paris. The area itself was nice and didn't feel too tourist-y at all. It only took about 30-40 mins each time we wanted to get to any major attractions.
We really enjoyed staying in Muriel's apartment and having her as a host. She was quick to get back to us with any questions we had and was friendly from start to finish.
Two small caveats:
- It's not a secret that the apartment is on the sixth floor with no elevator, but it is something to consider! After a long day of walking around the city, the thought of climbing six stories is a bit daunting. It's not too bad as long as you take plenty of breaks! We also had tow large suitcases and lugging them up was rough. Be sure to pack accordingly!
- The metro line, while very close, is also the most crowded metro line in Paris - to the point that it even has a full Wikipedia page about it, mostly discussing the overcrowding. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris_M%C3%A9tro_Line_13) Again, not a major issue at all, but something to think about. Toward the end of the trip we started taking the bus instead which was less crowded and gave us great views of the city!
Overall, we loved staying with Muriel and would recommend her apartment to any friend.
