We stayed at Melanie's apartment for 5 nights in July. Mélanie lived up to all the fantastic reviews that prompted us to request a booking for her place. She is the perfect host and creates an air b n b experience that stays true to the essence of this online community of travellers. Communication, facilitation and service were all beyond expectation. From the wonderful house manual which tells you everything you need to know about staying in the home to the sticky notes indicating the storage you can use to unpack (tonnes)...the apartment was wonderful. Especially with 2 pre schoolers the sleeping arrangements with the bunk bed in the kids room and all the toys were ideal. 2 beautiful parks (including the very large Martin Luther King Parc) and a church just a stones throw from the house and the very busy Place d Clichy which has many points of access to public transport as well as restaurants. A slightly longer walk brings you up to the Pigalle area and further up to Montmarte.
When we arrived we picked up the keys from a bar which is 150 m from the house which was very easy. We didn't get to meet Mélanie but as already mentioned she was great with communication both before and during our stay. Mélanie also left food supplies in the kitchen and pantry inviting us to help ourselves! The Nespresso pods were particularly welcome :)
I must mention that we accidentally locked the keys in the apartment on our 3rd day there but Mélanie was able to send a friend in the neighbourhood had a spare key and who lucky for us was at home and so resolved the issue within minutes!!!
We almost did not book this apartment on a price point but are glad we decided to because of the most welcome elevator to the top floor and the air-conditioning. We were there on some seriously hot days so that was a great decision. If you are staying with more than 4 Guests then it is worth noting that there is no air-conditioning in the 3rd bedroom on the top floor nor in the lounge and kitchen but there are plenty of windows for you to open and get the circulation going.
When it came time to checkout, we requested Mélanie for permission to keep our bags on at the apartment till it was time to head to the station for our evening train back and she was happy to accommodate us in this as well.
All in all a 5 star Air b n b experience and completely deserving of all the stellar reviews. An excellent place to stay in Paris with children. We will certainly consider staying here if we visit Paris again.

Best of luck to Mélanie and family!
