My first experience with AirBnB and it was GREAT! The apartment we reserved was exactly as depicted online; very clean and comfortable. We walked everywhere in January; Notre Dame, Galeries Lafayette, Louvre Museum. My niece and I were very comfortable, she took the bedroom and I stayed at the bed setup in the living room. A January stay, the apartment was perfectly heated, some noise from the street was not an issue after 10pm. Ariane was a very thoughtful, wonderful, gracious host, who provided us with all the information we needed and even provided some breakfast items (very appreciated!!). Very flexible, very kind in addressing all our questions. Loved the building, the neighborhood is lively and very accessible by metro. Wi-Fi worked very well, the shower was not a problem at all. Her restaurant recommendations were fantastic. All communications were answered quickly and very clearly. The Kitchen was compact, but it contain all needed for a short stay. If I was to make suggestions: the toaster needs to be replaced (it works but it's tricky), softer towels (but they were perfectly clean!), and perhaps a curtain for the kitchen window. We had GREAT STAY! Highly recommend.
