I have stayed in Airbnb‘s in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and several places in the US. Hakima’s place has been my best experience to date using Airbnb. She was very kind, and gave me a great orientation to the neighborhood, with Very practical/reliable advice on where to eat, shop,sightsee, etc.
The location was ideal, with multiple convenient transportation options near by including the 72 bus which Passes by many of the most spectacular sites in Paris. To metro lines stations were also just a short walk away. I thought the location was very strategic and really takes advantage of the transportation system in Paris, which once you know how to navigate it, is really very efficient and accessible.
Even though you’re in the city, the feeling is something like a family neighborhood with several grocery stores, Café, boulangerie, fruit stands, family style restaurants, and pharmacy nearby. There was also an organic market with dinner stuff that I was able to heat in the microwave. The local area here is extremely safe, and whereas I’m usually a bit paranoid walking alone in the streets of a foreign city at night time, I felt completely comfortable here. The host confirmed to me that this is a very safe neighborhood and she has never had a problem.
This is a substantially more detailed review than I typically write on Airbnb, because I found this particular stay to be so good, and even better than a houseboat we had stayed on in Amsterdam some years ago!
