This is my first time using AirBnB and, to be honest, I couldn’t have picked a better apartment to stay in! The bedroom is very spacious, it has an ample amount of space (which is hard to come by when you’re in the middle of Paris) and you’ll be equipped with a chic little shower room. The toilet is outside the bedroom and it is only a few steps away, so you do feel like you have your own “private wing” of the apartment. The bedroom has all the original details, such as a cute fireplace and a lofty ceiling, it was very exciting for me to stay in a place which is modern yet characteristic at the same time.

Zazie is a fantastic host! I met her on my third day there as she was abroad, but she was determined to serve me breakfast after being on the red eye from central Africa, if that is not dedication, then I don’t know what is! The hazelnut coffee was gorgeous to drink and Zazie and I had many interesting conversations over the dining table during the mornings she made me breakfast. She knows all the brilliant places to eat, so, if you’re new to Paris (or been to the brilliant city many times but want to stay away from touristy areas/lonely planet recommendations) and want to dine out in a true Parisian restaurant, then I strongly urge you to take Zazie’s advice on places to eat and places to see! She also made a reservation for me on my last night there, therefore you needn’t worry about not grabbing a table when it is busy during the evening. Zazie took me to the farmers’ market and if you’re a cheese lover, then Zazie will ensure that you buy some of the gorgeous cheese there! This is a lady who was born and bred in Paris, you’d be an idiot not to trust her recommendations!

Her apartment is situated in St Germain des Pres, it is about 5 mins walk to the metro (very, VERY convenient) and if you fancy a walk, then you can quite easily walk to the Musee d’Orsay in about 15-20mins, where you’ll be greeted by the beautiful river Seine. Her apartment is truly central and I’m not kidding here! You’d find all the best shops there, from designers to quirky little boutiques and most importantly, both Pierre Herme and Laduree are easily accessible if you fancy some decadent cakes and MACARONS!
I would definitely come back to her apartment if I go to Paris again and would most certainly recommend her room to anyone :D
