This was my first Airbnb -- I could not be happier with the experience and value.
The location of this apartment was ideal for our stay. It is conveniently located in the Le Marais area of Paris ideally situated for shopping, restaurants and for easy access to the metro. There is a grocery store that is just a one to two minute walk from the apartment as well that we used for bottled water and other convenience items.
Checkin was easy with the person meeting us on the street with a sign with our name on it. Traffic in the area was congested at the person meeting us had kindly walked 25 to 30 meters down the street to greet us and help us with our luggage. Although there were only three of us, we had six pieces of luggage; which he helped us get up into the apartment.
The apartment photos included on Airbnb are accurate, yet in some respects do not do not fully capture the character and history. We thoroughly enjoyed the two king sized beds and the storage space that allowed us to stack the luggage on top of the washer and dryer. Surprisingly, we also used the washer and dryer during our two week stay, rather the laundry/dry cleaning service just around the corner.
Finally, Nathan's recommendations for restaurants, coffee shops, etc. were excellent. We look forward to staying at Nathan's again!
