As far as Paris attractions go, we can debate whether or not the Mona Lisa is over hyped—but the hype for Christophe’s AirBnb is 100% real! What a wonderful, one-of-a-kind, luxurious stay that made our Paris trip all the more special.
I’ve been to many AirBnb’s, and I don’t think I’ve yet been to one that rivaled a hotel stay in cleanliness, amenities, and a sense of attentiveness from the host—this one does. The appliances, bedding, furniture, fixtures—every little detail is high quality. As many folks have said, Christophe greets you on arrival, and is very flexible. He let us check in two hours early, which was a huge relief after a long flight.
To be completely frank, before my mom and I arrived in Paris, I started to have second thoughts about this choice after I realized our itinerary was heavily focused in Le Marais, the Left Bank, Montmartre. But after a day we were so happy to return to our private, quiet space and hop in the jacuzzi! Through the beauty of Google maps, I found the city very easy to navigate by metro or walking, and I set aside some extra money to take Ubers when we needed.
There are a few gems right on the block, too. We had the most lovely breakfasts (and easily one of the best croissants I’ve ever had) at La Belle Ferronniere and a fun steak frites experience at Le Relais de L’Entrecôte.
Thank you, Christophe, we can’t wait to come back!
