If you are on the fence about booking this airbnb property then let me assure you that you will not regret it. First of all just the location would be convincing enough. You walk outside the building door and you are in the middle of shops and restaurants. Walk around the corner and you have the Seine river and Notre Dame Cathedral smiling at you. You can walk pretty much anywhere and are only a few minutes from the metro stations to go further out. The area was safe even late at night after returning from a full day of sightseeing. The apartment itself was small, but in my opinion was comfortable and very clean. I currently live in an apartment so maybe the size was not an issue for me, but for two people it is all you need. Plus you are probably not going to spend a lot of your time there. I appreciated having the nespresso machine for my first cup of coffee to get the day started every day. She also provided some breakfast items such as yogurt, granola, and a few treats such as cookies and chocolates. This small touches really make a big difference.
The bathroom was small, but again it is all that you need. And might I add I thought the design was great and they used the space they had well for storage. Overall the space is beautifully designed and layed out. I loved the chandelier, the stone wall, and the wood beams. You feel like you are getting a much more authentic experience than if you had just stayed in a hotel. If you are looking for a TV there is not one, but we had a surface pro and watched movies at night on it with the free wifi provided so that was not an issue. Plus you really don't have a lot of time to be watching TV anyways. Check-in was easy and fast and Anne-Laure is great about answering any questions you may have prior. And finally you get a lot for your money. We saved a lot by staying here versus a hotel - even the cheaper of hotels. I would rather spend that money on something else. I would definitely stay here again on my next trip to Paris! Thank you again Anne-Laure for a great experience.
