This was one of the best airbnb experiences I have ever had! The location is perfect, so central to everything in Paris and in the trendiest neighborhood. The apartment itself is a luxury. It fulfilled all of my Parisian fantasies - from the balcony, to the herringbone floors, to the fireplace. I enjoyed every minute at this flat. The elevator, which I didn't use much, was so great when I needed it. Its an unusual feature in traditional Hausmann buildings and an added bonus.
Azza was extremely communicative and helpful, although I didn't have many reasons to reach out because the flat is so well equipped. The only downside was the lack of air conditioning - which I knew going in. Only one week was so hot that it really affected me though, the rest of the time the breeze plus the fan made it fine.
The flat itself is on a very busy street, but the living room faces a quiet side street. You heard just enough street noise to realize you are in a bustling city without it being overly distracting or noisy. The bedroom and dining room face an internal courtyard, and it actually is quite noisy there early in the mornings with people leaving for work and throwing garbage away or taking garbage cans to the street. I closed the beautiful windows though and you couldn't hear a thing.
All in all, I give the experience a 10/10.
