The apartment is on the ground floor which is a definite advantage if you have bags to carry. The space itself is beautiful with a small private garden. The apartment was spotless. It rained for the duration of our stay so we couldn't really enjoy the patio garden. The location of the apartment is perfect with the Metro just a 5 minute walk away. There are many good restaurants around and a grocery store is next door. The bathroom door is thin plywood and may be of concern if you are staying with a friend and not a spouse. Our only issue is that we were not met by Vincent but by a lady who spoke not a word of English and we don't speak a word of French. It was a little worrisome whether we had understood her instructions about letting ourselves in and out of the apartment but luckily we managed. This was the first Airbnb experience (we have used Airbnb extensively) where we were not met by the host. Usually the host orients you to where you are located, gives advice on how to get around and gives you suggestions on places to eat. This did not happen here. We are experienced travellers so we googled our way around but a little extra attention would have been welcome.
