My host was most welcoming. Helped bring my luggage in from the taxi, and was very friendly! But, that was just the beginning. The studio was everything, plus more, than the photos showed. Appliances, kitchen utensils, tableware, dish and laundry detergents, etc. we're all supplied. There were even some basic essentials: ham, cheese, coffee, eggs, to help settle for the first jet lagged hours. There was even a bottle of a respectable red wine. I believe that the host went well beyond what I was expecting, or would have even hoped for!
The neighborhood is very nice and safe, with needed shops within 150 meters. A cafe/restaurant recommended by readers of Trip Advisor, is on the corner.
Bastille and Sully-Morland are the nearest metro stops, neither more than a 10 minute walk. The Rue St. Antoine, a good shopping street is 2 blocks away. The Place des Vosges, one of the finest 'squares' in Paris, is just a couple of blocks behind Rue St. Antoine.
All in all it was a great experience, and I can only hope that my next Airbnb stay is half as pleasant. My only caveat, is that as the studio is ground floor, cell phone service can be a bit dicey.
