This was our first time to use Airbnb, and we were so fortunate to have Genia as our first host! Being a newbie to the system, I had so many questions about the upcoming stay -- but Genia was so patient with me and answered each question in great detail. She is the perfect host, always concerned about the well-being of her guests, and she always responds to messages immediately.

The apartment is in an amazing location -- walk a few steps out the door, turn your head and you see the Eiffel Tower in front of you. Nearby are lots of cafes and restaurants, and Genia gave us tips on her favorite places to eat & shop -- plus there's a huge Casino supermarche too, yay! She has the most complete and detailed online guidebook that I've seen so far here on Airbnb, with maps & comments for each destination.

Everything in the apartment matched the above photos exactly: it's smartly decorated, roomy and full of natural light. The kitchen had complete equipment, and there was even food and supplies (coffee, milk, butter, juice, soda, bottled water, cereal, pasta, crackers, etc) which Genia said we were welcome to use! She even left a picnic blanket in case it was sunny, and an umbrella in case it was rainy! We have been spoiled silly by our first host :D and what a wonderful introduction to Airbnb it was! Thank you so much, Genia!
