This was our first Airbnb experience and it set the bar pretty high. The location of the apartment is beyond belief, with a great view of the gardens behind Notre Dame, and looking to the right, a view of the Cathedral itself, right outside the window. The Paris metro is very easy to navigate and there is a stop just down the block by the Notre Dame. Helene provided very detailed instructions for arrival and good communication every step of the way to make our Paris experience worry-free. The room was clean and just as described. Helene's family was very warm and made us feel very welcome. This kind of lodging is what makes Airbnb great, and it certainly made for a fantastic trip to Paris. Really, I can't say enough about it.
