The real winning factor here is location. The apartment is on a very charming street, close to attractions, and REALLY close to the metro. This was our first time to Paris (and first time using Airbnb) and it was incredibly easy to get to/from the airport, as well as a great home-base to navigate the city. We're on the introverted side and loved the easy, self check-in/out process. The apt was very quiet (with the windows closed), there are plenty of shops/restaurants/bodegas near by, and the wifi worked great!
