Gilbert’s hosting is truly deserving of a five star experience. My boyfriend and I were only able to stay one night on our way out of Paris, but would have loved to have stayed longer. The room is even nicer than the photos. It is tastefully decorated in a modern European style, as is the spotless bathroom. I usually reserve Airbnb spaces with a private bathroom, but with the door of the bedroom leading to the bathroom, it basically felt private already. Most importantly, Gilbert himself demonstrated the qualities of an excellent host. He took the time to carefully explain all the details of the spaces without being overbearing. The fact that he even takes the time to leave out a traditional French breakfast sets him apart as a host. He is friendly and easy to talk to. This would be a perfect place for a solo traveler who wants some advice on getting around the city and a friendly face to talk to.
Gilbert’s place is an outstanding value in Paris. I recommend him without hesitation!
