A wonderful stay. The highlight being the location. We loved taking a Sunday evening pique-nique to the lawns of the place des Vosges. Sitting in the last rays of sunshine with a glass of wine made us feel like real parisian locals. The area truly is special and accessible to some many other highlights of Paris.
Additionally the apartment is an old building in an historic area but has all the modernities that one could wish for on a short stay.
Price-wise, we upgraded a bit as we hadn't travelled for so long. i would say that despite the higher price, this apartment offers good value for money and we came away feeling that it had been a bit of a treat.
This was the first-time that we had stayed in an agency-run Airbnb. Personally I didn't love that experience. One could have a more human experience in a chain hotel. Check-in is done by a series of codes, check-out was quite threatening in its emphasis on a timeous departure and the local tips were cryptic. This is not in the original spirit of Airbnb where the hosts meet the guests, share local knowledge, leave some local treats or a welcome note.
That said I know some people really love the anonymous "touch". I think this worth mentioning as it is a personal like or dislike.
Nevertheless I still rate this apartment itself very highly for a little Paris spoil.
