The Esmeralda room lived up to my imagination of how wonderful it could be. We spent 11 days here in Feb/March 2022. The view is even better than it appears in photos. Natural light pleasantly fills the space through the balcony doors and skylights. The bed was so COMFY and sheets and covers were soft and lovely. Kitchen and bathroom are petite, but use the space very well. We are TALL, but because the room has a vaulted ceiling, the space feels amazing. The location with regard to getting to sites could not be better in my opinion. You can walk to so many places from there, and the river is just a block away. One of our favorite things to do was walk along the river in the evening, down near the water. It's magical. We also went and listened to some music one night at the club across the street, Caveau des Oubliettes -- a very unique spot. (The music is in the basement, and you do not hear it from street level.) We did it all -- Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, the D'Orsay, bike tour in Versailles, Monmartre, Sacre Couer, historical walking tour. But every night we came home to the Esmeralda room and felt like the luckiest people in Paris.
Michel is a delight. Completely fluent in English and very attentive to any questions we had. He made sure we had a 5-star experience. I would stay in any AirBnb he offered. He took such good care of us.
