This apartment was perfect for our family of five, including three children, for our stay of four nights. Claire welcomed us and thoroughly explained all amenities, including how to operate the wifi, tv, kitchen and laundry equipment. The neighborhood is not touristy, but extremely convenient to many Paris highlights and is serviced by two Metro lines that connect to most of Paris. We almost do not want to give such a glowing review for fear that this apartment will be overly in demand. An added bonus is its proximity immediately adjacent to Jardin des Plantes, which is a lovely spot for an evening stroll. Shops and cafes abound. This was our first Airbnb and we we very pleased with our experience. We would recommend to traveling families - there is plenty of space to spread out, even by American standards. The apartment seems to be in a very safe neighborhood and there are many locals without many tourists. We found the kitchen to be well-equipped and Claire to be extremely generous with her openness. The kitchen size must be judged by American city-apartment standards because anyone living in American suburbia may feel cramped by its cozy size. We, however, did not find it to be an issue and cooked together, sometimes with three in the kitchen at the same time. The apartment has wonderful morning sun and has a good breeze in the evenings. Claire was always available when we needed to communicate with her, but that was not needed very much. Highly recommended that you strongly consider for your Paris stay for even up to a week, if that time is available.
