We had a perfect stay in Eric's Paris apartment. Eric wasn't there, he was in his Dublin apartment, but had his friend there to let us in. When we had a few questions Eric immediately replied to our queries and even called to check. The apartment was exactly as described on Air BNB. Nice and homely. You are not in the hustle and bustle of the city centre, but the metro is just a few minutes away and gets you to the city centre in 20 minutes. We came by car and in August parking is free and easy.
