This was my first Airbnb experience and it was fantastic! This lovely apartment looked exactly as represented in the photos and description, was immaculate, and provided high quality essentials (appliances, bedding, furnishings) as well as thoughtful extras such as welcoming beverages and toiletries. Quentin was extremely helpful with details for negotiating the city via email and text and very thoughtfully checked in several times to see how I was doing. The apartment also had a ringbinder with information on local sights and restaurants, as well as using the appliances (very helpful if you've never used a combo washer/dryer!) The location of the apartment was perfect for exploring any neighborhood of Paris on foot as well as being close to one of the major Metro hubs, and I felt completely safe walking alone at night. I can't praise Quentin and this flat enough and will certainly book it again when I return. Also: don't be put off by the lack of elevator: the stairs aren't all that steep and after 1-2 days, I didn't hardly think about them at all.
