***AMAZING LOCATION! ABSOLUTE GEM! SUPER HOST!***
Cannot say enough good things about our stay and Melissa as a host. She is by far the best host I’ve yet interacted with via AirBnB and her apartment is just a gem.
First, the location: If you want to walk home each night to the picturesque sight of the Eiffel Tower and crawl in to a cozy bed steps from great restaurants, look no further. You are located just a few blocks from some truly superior (as in Michelin chef-run), affordable restaurants that share the street with some excellent shops for wine, cheese and baked goods. The Eiffel Tower is of course seconds away by foot and the list of recommendations for sites and eats provided by super-host Melissa are all there for you.
Second, the apartment: The amazing location is followed up with quaint decor inside the apartment and very comfortable bed (sometimes these things aren’t all found in an apartment with such a great location) for sleeping off any lingering jet lag. There is a full kitchen, with a washer as well for doing any laundry and the bathroom, while lacking a western shower head, is also adequate and well stocked. That brings me to the only real drawback (and definitely NOT a deal-breaker)--the shower. The bathtub is neat and traditionally French styled, but the shower hose lacks a hanging point on the wall so one must hold the shower hose/head at all times for a western-shower. A MINOR complaint. This minor gripe is one probably only shared by a fellow Westerner and is completely eclipsed by the excellent service of Melissa, the location and the general condition of the apartment and it’s furnishings. The wifi worked well, plenty of fresh linens and glasses/utensils. This place gets a 10/10.
Again, Melissa is absolutely WONDERFUL to work with, she enjoys good food and her recommendations were plentiful, well thought out, and spot on! DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND BOOK THIS PLACE ALREADY! LOOK NO FURTHER FOR AN ABSOLUTELY GEM OF A STAY IN PARIS!
