I don’t usually write reviews, but this Airbnb is exceptional. Our welcome was extremely warm and Isabelle encouraged us to use all the common areas and had reserved a bottle of water for us in the fridge.
The room we had is quite big with two large windows overlooking Place de Clichy and comes with a very clean & modern private bathroom. The bed is Queen size and very comfortable and clean.
The main front door is sandwiched between two great restaurants and is easily missed on a first search. One of the many pleasures of being in Paris is enjoying a beverage & a snack at a corner cafe, whilst watching the world go by. And there are two, a few steps from the front door - extremely convenient !
The metro station is a few steps from the front door and many busses go right by the apartment.
Moulin Rouge is just a 6 minute walk away. The Louvre is a 17 minute bus ride (bus number 21 or 74)
Musee d’Orsay is a 21 minute bus ride (bus number 68)
Eiffel Tower is a 31 minute bus ride (bus number 30)
Arc de Triomphe is a 14 minute metro ride (metro line number 2)
If you want to visit Monet’s gardens at Giverny, Gare Saint-Lazare is the station to depart from, which is just a 9 minute walk. BTW, neither Google Maps nor Apple Maps know about the 5 Euro bus shuttles from Vernon to Giverny, which are a lot faster than the public bus.
It’s just the perfect base to explore Paris.
Even though the square is busy most of the time, with occasional traffic jams, being on the 2nd floor with double glazed windows mutes most of the traffic noise very well.
There is an elevator that runs all the way to the top, but baggage needs to be carried up half a story to the first stop & down another half story to the 2nd floor
