A big apartment in a great location filled with beautiful art and hundreds of fascinating books, this is a real home with loads of lived-in character, refreshingly different from other 'non-home' AirBnB's and their chain-hotel sterility. Hélène and Stéphane made us feel very welcome, with Champagne, home-made preserves and other goodies for us to enjoy from the fridge. The bars and restaurants down below produce a slight hum of background noise on busier nights, which is not too intrusive. But really this is Paris perfection!
