This was our first Airbnb, and our first trip to Paris. Francois provided helpful and responsive communication throughout, which was very appreciated. Knowing we were coming during a warm month, he graciously added a fan to the flat.
It was wonderful to have access to a washer/dryer and full kitchen. Everything was well-equipped and extremely well-maintained, and the flat felt quite spacious for a family of three. The location is also good -- while not central to most Paris attractions, the Republique metro stop is very close by and made access to the city quite easy. It is also convenient for train access to CDG.
The only downside to the flat was its location on an extremely busy street and the related noise. We had a hard time carrying on conversations when the windows were open, and you could not really have them open at night for sleeping with the noise. That said, the windows were very soundproof -- once you closed them, you could not hear much at all. But we would have liked to have a window open at night.
Overall, a great first Airbnb experience for us!
