We came from a late train and arrived very late in the apartment. Cecile’s husband was waiting for us to check in and he was very kind and helpful with the luggage and apartment instructions. We had been many times in Paris and always stayed in Hotels. This time we tried Airbnb mainly because of the kids so we could be in a more comfortable place with them, to cook and have a better resting when they are tired. The apartment is just exactly like all the positive comments from other guests and even more. We felt in home. It is a very beautiful duplex, well decorated, Parisian style, clean and clear, space very well divided. All the basics that you need are there for a comfortable stay. The windows are large and goes all over the dining and living room where a lot of light comes in. We love books and there were just more than you can read in your entire life. My daughters (6 and 9) loved the apartment and stayed very comfortable in their room. Of course they disputed to stay in the top of the bunk bed and they even had some toys to play with. We had the coincidence to be in Paris in the crowdy summer and just during their main holiday (Fête de la Fédération) and most of all in the final of world cup when France won! So one can imagine the craziness and how crowdy the city was. Because of the kids we were a bit concerned. The apartment was the perfect refuge for all this. We could watch the games in a quieter pub in the corner without issues. The location is great because this is out of the touristic chaos but at the same time near to it since transportation is just in the corner. One minute walking and you are in the river where you can already see the Tour Eiffel from a beautiful bridge. You can either walk along the Seine (which we did in the first day) or take a metro or RER in Javel station to go to the main touristic areas. Supermarkets, brasseries, pharmacy, etc are just less than 5 min walking. Cecile was flexible for check out as she was also for our late check in. If possible we will definitely try to stay in the same apartment next time we go to Paris.
