We usually stay at 4-star hotels when traveling and this is our first experience with AirBnB. We needed a big place this time due to our parents joining us, so we thought to give it a try but didn't know what to expect. Staying here was like staying at a friend's house. We made use of the kitchen for some cooking. Washer and dryer were especially useful for us traveling with kids. Place was comfortable and neighborhood was safe and quite. Melanie was a great host, responsive and offered great local tips. Loved the neighborhood and got to experience Paris away from tourist hotels. We had a great time in Paris.
