Aurélien was an amazing and gracious host who went far above and beyond for me. It was my first time using AirBnb and I had some misgivings because I waited till last minute and had to subsequently do an Instant Booking, which limits my options. However, all misgivings were put aside the moment I met Aurélien. First, he rented a bike to meet me at the Metro station so that I did not get lost, as well as to take his time showing me the neighborhood: markets, stores, restaurants, local history. The apartment itself was amazing: studio with a full kitchen, washer/dryer and a balcony that looked over greenery. I was solo but it cold easily have fit another person comfortably. Aurélien was quick and kind to answer any questions I had during my 9 day trip to Paris rather it be how to work the washer or do I tip at restaurants. And to top it off he had a chilled bottle of white wine waiting for me in the refrigerator. Could not have had a better host, I strongly recommend this place. It is super close to great restaurants, located in Central Paris (near the 5th district) and truly waking distance to everything.
