Pierre's apartment was the best Paris Airbnb experience we have had. (... and we have stayed in some wonderful places before in Paris and other cities...) The reasons are simple:

The Location is excellent. The building is directly on the Quai des Grands Augustins near Rue Dauphine. Point Neuf and the Ile de la Cite are out the front door. It is absolutely easy to get to the metro stops... Odeon is a beautiful 5 minute walk through the neighborhood. Best of all, is that the St Michel train and metro station is a 5 minute walk along the Quai. We quickly jumped on the "B" RER train from Charles de Gaulle airport and were at St Michel in 30 minutes for only 10 Euros each.

The apartment is located in the back of the building through a quiet and peaceful court yard. It is VERY tranquil and you cannot hear any of the city sounds from the open windows in the apartment. The light is wonderful and airy. There is great security with a coded access at the street door and then a second point of entry to the courtyard. The buildings are clean and in beautiful condition. The neighbors were friendly and quiet.

The apartment itself was beautifully renovated in a clean, modern, mid-century style. It was comfortable and everything was in working order and easily accessible. The bathroom was large and had plenty of storage including a full closet. The linens and towels were excellent. The bed was very comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed to make breakfast each morning after running around the corner to Rue de Buci to pick up croissants and fruits and cheese. Some things that Pierre doesn't list... He provided us with maps, travel info, umbrellas (unfortunately it was rainy.. all the better for museum hopping.) He has a hair dryer, iron and board, and full sized mirror in the bathroom. He also has a fully stocked kitchen and he gave us pain du chocolate and sparkling water when we arrived. (it's the little things that make traveling easier...)

Pierre is a wonderful, kind host. He met us at the apartment and was very accommodating about allowing us to check in early. He showed us all the basics and gave us great advice and information about the neighborhood and restaurants. We really appreciated his warm welcome and helpful advice. We ended up eating dinner at two of his recommended local restaurants and had amazing meals.

We enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend Pierre's apartment.
