This was our first AirBNB experience and it was a great one. The description of the apartment and pictures were accurate. The location was great, you are just steps away from the Latin Quarter, a five minute walk to Notre Dame. We really enjoyed the stay and thought it was a perfect home base for our stay in Paris. It cost €10 to get there via taxi cab from the Eurostar Station at Gare Du Nord. The only issue we had was we had planned on meeting at 4:30pm, we got there at 4:17pm and waited out front as no apartment number was given to us, so we wouldn't have known what button to push on the outside intercom. (The building is locked, you have to have a key to enter or be buzzed in.) by 4:50pm Marie hadn't arrived yet so my husband walked down to the Starbucks (5minute walk) to use their wifi to email her. At 4:53pm she came down outside. Apparently she had been waiting inside the apartment the whole time! LOL it wasn't a big deal clearly we had just had some miscommunication. I let her know that the description and address given doesn't contain an apartment number. As an AirBNB newbie that was something we didn't think to ask so I would recommend that you do ask about whether you should ring any buzzer/apartment number or if you should just wait outside. Since we didn't have any idea which apartment number it was we just assumed that she would meet us at the door.
Marie was great though, very friendly and she left her apartment "bible" which included every bit of information we needed! It was amazing! Tips, tricks, restaurants, etc. Our uber ended up not working and we needed a last minute taxi to the Charles De Gaulle airport (€55) she had all the information available and the apartment even had a land line so we could call them. If you are looking for an apartment for this neighborhood I'd just stop looking and book this one. It was great! Thank you Marie!
