Our party of four thoroughly enjoyed our weeklong stay at Richard's immaculate apartment. We found everything as listed, and the layout of the apartment ensured privacy for both couples. Upon arrival Richard's daughter Laura and her mother showed us around the apartment, pointing out the intricacies of the kitchen appliances and leaving us with a list of local restaurants, bakeries, markets, and other points of interest. They had stocked the refrigerator with basic needs and left a bottle of wine, fresh baguette, coffee, and tea on the counter. The location of the apartment allowed us to take walking trips through both the Bastille and Marais and the 69 bus and local Metro stops gave us access to the rest of Paris. We tried many of the restaurants and cafes on Richard's list and found each one a good choice. If we had a question or need, Richard or a member of his family answered us quickly, and Richard even arranged for transportation to CDG for members of our group. This was my first experience with Airbnb. Richard and his family set a very high standard for others to follow.
