This was the nicest Airbnb I have stayed in, by a *long* way. The apartment is gorgeous, spotlessly clean, and really spacious. I stayed with my husband and our four year old daughter and there was plenty of space for all of us. We were able to cook several nights in the kitchen. There were plenty of towels and bed linens. The apartment has a dishwasher and washer-dryer which is extremely helpful for an extended stay/ if you have children! Although it was hot and there is no A/C, the two fans and the numerous windows cooled the flat down wonderfully at night. The location is *extremely* central; you can walk everywhere, or take the metro from Chatelet-Les Halles. For younger children, there is an excellent playground at Jardin Nelson Mandela, a couple of minutes' walk from the apartment. Florence also left some toys and colored pencils in the apartment for our daughter, which she loved (also if you have children, be warned there is a Lego shop about a 1-minute walk from the apartment!). There are loads of bars and restaurants just beneath, which means there is noise (we were there during the World Cup) -- you can hear this but you are so high up that you feel a little removed. The noise never stopped us sleeping. Florence was extremely helpful, and all of her communications were thoughtful, friendly and prompt. I highly recommend Florence's apartment. I would definitely stay here again!
