My friend and I went to Paris to watch the Paris Open tennis tournament. I lived in paris years ago. It was my friend's first trip. I searched for a long time to try and find the place that would most showcase Paris. I found it. And at a reasonable price. This apartment is not part of a professionally run Airbnb operation-- a hotel room posing as an apartment. This is a real person's apartment. Francoise lives there when she is not letting it out as an airbnb. It's a home. And a perfectly maintained one at that. Tons of light. Bank vault quiet even though its on a main street. Nicely appointed. It feels like you're staying at a successful friend's apartment. And it's centrally located. It was ideal. It's a stone throw from a major subway hub. Easy to go anywhere in the city. We took the RER from the airport and it took 1 hour for 10 euros. (door to door) That's easy. A 5 minute walk to the Marais, (restaurants, shopping), BHV, Les Halles and Notre Dame a little further. The main room is huge. three major windows. A little balcony. A nice sized kitchen. Two bathrooms. Francoise is very nice and welcoming. Pretty good English (lol). She greeted us. Made us feel welcome. Showed us the apartment, then left. It was all very easy. For the price, you can't beat this huge welcoming apartment.
