The hosts were very kind and helpful. Always replying to my questions on recommendations, amenities and also supported us through a stressful period of illness and need for medical care. It felt good to have timely support when systems and language were foreign.
For new airbnb users, good to be aware that communications with hosts are usually exclusively online. Much can be misunderstood due to language and cultural differences so patience, a sense of appreciation and a translation tool would help.
The items in the flat were all great - modern, very clean and well supplied. Manuals were provided in English. Beds were all good; even the sofa bed was thick and firm. Love the good lighting. We opened the windows a lot and it was not disturbing. Heated towel rails in the bathroom. Dyson standing fan and wall heaters worked.
Location was fantastic for us. The Bastille metro entrance/exit is literally a few steps away - very convenient. The stop for buses to get across the river is nearby. The neighbourhood felt safe with families around. Supermarket, bakery and pharmacy right next door. Cafes and restaurants nearby. Weekend antique market pops up and lines the street in front. Big Bastille open-air local food market opens on Sun across the road.
Overall marvellous stay with an Airbnb Super Host!
