This was my first Airbnb stay and it couldn't have been better.mthe place looked exactly like the photos and Gilles was a great host. He met me the morning I got in and even carried my bag of bricks up the 5 flights of stairs. If he does tant for everyone, he's saving himself an expensive gym membership. On the 5 flights of stairs - I went to Paris for 10 days and lost weight - I'd say it's a perk. The place is very "bijoux " perfect for one person or two people that really like each other. Sofa bed was easy and really comfortable, place is in the best location, heart of the Marais, just above the charming bar Fer du Cheval, but it's very quiet in the studio as its off the street. Nespresso machine is great, makes better coffee than one gets in a cafe, and if you're like me that needs coffee before being able to get dressed, you'll appreciate that amenity a lot. Wifi works great. I had one incident the first night I'll share just to demonstrate what a great host Gilles is. I turned on the shower and managed to flood half the studio. I called Gilles and he was over in no time, unblocked the shower drain and cleaned up. I feel bad about the rug that had to be tossed. He was back the next day with fresh towels and a new rug. Shower was great from then on, plenty of hot water. Great modern studio in the center of Paris for a great price. Highly recommend, comparable to a hip, boutique hotel room. Merci Beaucoup Gilles!
