We had an amazing stay in Paris, this Airbnb apartment was wonderful and met all of our expectations. The apartment is just as it is described.....We actually thought that it was much brighter than the pictures show, the windows bring in a lot of natural light which we really liked. The location is perfect, many small cafes very close by, a pharmacy across the street, department store across the street, small shops down every street and a grocery store is within a 2 minute walk. The metro station is a 3-4 minute walk and very easy to use. Notre Dame and the Seine River a few blocks away. There is so much life and culture right outside your door or within walking distance...the location was perfect!
We loved having two bedrooms so the kids could be in one room with us in the other. It was nice staying at a place that had a separate washer and drier (most airbnbs had a combined washer/drier (one machine) that typically does not work well).
There was an earlier review we had read complaining about a neighbor smoking and they did not like the smell. Response: We noticed the slight smell in the stairwell outside the apartment once or twice, but never in the apartment...this was never an issue.
We shopped at the department store across the street a couple times, very convenient to have that so close.
Thierry was very helpful and showed us around when we first got there so we knew where everything was in the apartment and all of the close by spots for the good cafes, grocery store and shopping.
The bathroom is small, like all bathrooms in Paris, but the shower had a wonderful rain shower head and a separate removable sprayer.
Each bedroom has a window that opens and brings in a nice breeze....there are also two windows in the kitchen/living room and one in the bathroom. We left the windows open at night in the bedrooms which was great except for the morning that they collected garbage outside really early in the morning, which we laughed about later in the day.
The only complaint we had was that it would have been nice to have a little bit softer towels as they were a bit rough.....but not a big deal, we will definitely stay here again and loved working with Thierry!
