Having always stayed in hotels in Paris prior to this, I had an open mind to Air BnB. This flat blew any expectation I had out of the water. It was fantastic!!!
We were welcomed to the flat with a full tour of the space, instructions on how things worked and locations for things like trash and recycling in the building as well as where the nearest outdoor market, grocery store, pharmacy and metro stop are. Our flight was late and our luggage was late but Prune was very understanding and we were able to settle in quickly.
The flat was great. It was comfortable, convenient, clean and a great size for a couple. It included storage/ closet space, a kitchen, and supplies one needs for daily life. It provides great light and overlooks a very cute and quiet courtyard (crack the window at night and you will wake up to the amazing smell of freshly baked bread from the boulangerie downstairs!). It is very close to many metro stops and Place de Bastille.
The neighborhood is fantastic. Everything you need is downstairs. There are some AMAZING restaurants on the main street as well as a block or two in every direction. We found cute boutiques and book stores to the north a few blocks and Rue de Faubourg Saint Antoine is host to many globally know retailers. There is a beautiful market about a block away that stretches a few blocks filled with produce, flowers, and on some days, antiques and other fun objects. Monoprix is two blocks away.
I can't give Prune's flat a high enough review. My boyfriend and I joked about asking to sign a six-month lease here. Thanks so much Prune- we can't wait to come back!
