This was my first experience with airbnb, and it was a great one. The apartment was absolutely excellent. Spacious, light, airy, and immaculate with incredibly cool design flourishes. The apartment is really tastefully done, with a really smart mix of new (e.g., kitchen appliances and fixtures) and old (e.g., original flooring, super comfortable, old leather chairs). The view of the city from the large balcony is great. The apartment worked perfectly for our family of four. I really can't overstate how cool the apartment is.

The neighborhood is great. The apartment is on a quiet street, but close to everything. There is an great bakery on the corner (it won the award for best baguette in Paris a few years ago), along with cheese store, restaurants, cafes, wine shop, etc. Not at all touristy. Just right.

Check in and check out was a breeze. The host arranged for the building's concierge to take care of everything.

I would stay there again without hesitation and would recommend the apartment to any friends who need this kind of arrangement (2 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, lots of living space).
