As a first time visitor to Paris, I wanted to be in the center of the city. This Airbnb is not within walking distance to the Eiffel Tower or Arc de Triomphe, but it has a great pedestrian mall filled with brasseries and cafes. The photos provided make the unit look better than it really is but I hear that is usually the case with airbnbs. The owner Yves is very responsive and goes out of his way to ensure a good experience.
