This was my first time using airbnb and it was a good experience - Marie’s place was great. The building is secure and on a well lit street - which was important to me as a woman traveling alone. The neighborhood rivals the Upper West Side in Manhattan with lots of shops and restaurants, and it was about a 10 minute walk to the Eiffel Tower. The room looked exactly as it was pictured. I speak a little French and Marie speaks a little English, but we were able to communicate just fine. I would definitely recommend Marie’s place and would look to stay with her the next time I’m in Paris.
