My daughter and I spent a week at Neil and Maria's apartment. I really can't say enough about how much we enjoyed the experience. I travel to Paris periodically for meetings at the OECD and usually stay at a nearby hotel. This was my first effort at staying in an apartment in the city and in using Airbnb.

I certainly plan to stay at this apartment next time I'm in Paris. Without hesitation. Neil is a friendly and amiable host and made sure that we were comfortable and had what we needed on arrival. As I usually stay in hotels when in Paris the creature comforts and practical amenities offered in the apartment were very welcome. Indeed, the apartment even has an iron, which is a rare thing to find in a European hotel and so I very much appreciated that!!
The apartment was spotlessly clean, modern and well equipped with a fully outfitted and actually useful for cooking kitchen. The apartment was much larger than expected, providing my daughter lots of space to escape after a tiring day sightseeing. As there are two bathrooms (one of which had a toilet), each of us effectively had our own independent living and showering space, which was very nice traveling with an adult child. The apartment is also separated off from the street by a courtyard making for a tranquil escape from the bustle of Paris as well.

Location of the apartment is ideal. Approximately 15 minutes from the OECD. When in Paris I usually stay in the 16th Arrondissement, away from the crazy crowds and noise of the centre of the city yet close enough to be convenient. The subway is close, with both the Passy and Trocadero stations a short walk away. The Eiffel tower is a short walk away as well and the bakeries, food stores and restaurants of Passy are all a short distance.

I would like to thank Neil and Maria for being exceptional hosts and for making their apartment available.

I could write a lot more, suffice to say that location, quality of the apartment, hospitality of Neil and Maria all combined to make the stay extremely pleasant.
