Many things make this a terrific Airbnb. Most importantly, the apartment was ideal for us with plenty of space and comfort, and all the facilities we needed. Its location, in an interior courtyard, is very special, and provides unusual calm in the middle of a big noisy town.
I know Paris very well but this area in the 11ieme arondissment was completely new to me, and a delightful discovery. Within 5 minutes walk you have every shop you ever need (aaaah, the cheese, the ham!!) and some great bars, and within another 5 several really splendid restaurants - we recommend Le Min and Diggity.
Sonia, the owner, is an absolute treat. There to welcome us, she is a font of information on where to go and what to do in the area, and also makes sure the apartment is stocked with the basics. Sonia is also incredibly responsive, ready to answer any questions and offer any advice. The ideal host.
So all-in-all, a flawless 5 days in Paris and a perfect place to start visiting abroad again after the frustrations of the past 2 years. I would go back to the same apartment in a heartbeat - and I will!
