This was our first time using Airbnb and we were concerned about how reliable it would be. I am happy to say we had a very positive experience. Borzou was prompt and reliable with all communication, and Elaheh, who met us, was a most charming and helpful host who went out of her way to make us feel welcome and show us how everything worked. We were pleased to see that the photos of the apartment were true to the reality of the place, as were many features that were described in the reviews: yes, there is lots of hot water, the fold-out bed was comfortable, the apartment is not big, but it has all the basic necessities, the staircase is uneven to the second floor, but manageable, and it was quiet during the 17 nights we stayed there.
This is a jewel of a location. When you step out the front door you truly are in the heart of old Paris with the cobbled streets, ancient buildings, many charming artisan food shops (Bakeries, pates, cheese and ice cream shops), as well as cafes/restaurants. Also, it is close to the metro and buses and it is ideally situated to visit attractions on both the left and right banks.
It was perfect for our needs and we would not hesitate to return to this pied-a-terre.
