We’ve travelled a lot and stayed at more than a few Airbnb’s- and quite often they left quite a bit to be desired.
We’d booked Joy’s apartment for the full month of May, and reserved it a year in advance. So we had an entire year of major expectations, both re Paris and the apartment. And to our great pleasure, this apartment exceeded anything we’d hoped for based on pictures and reviews
It was perfect for an extended stay. Two bathrooms, two toilets - if you’ve ever fought with your spouse over who gets into the hotel bath, you’ll certainly appreciate that!
And if you like to look you’ll absolutely love this place. The kitchen is fully equipped, All-Clad pans and all. Appliances are small but very efficient, the stove especially throws out massive BTUs. You’ve got farmer markets minutes outside your door 5 days out the week. Even though we ate out great majority of the time, dining at home was a pleasure
And finally yes Home - it was delightful to return to this apartment after a days activities and plop on the comfy sofa and say ah, yes were home. More than once we remarked how much different it would’ve been to be crammed into a hotel for an extended period.
So Joy merci beaucoup you were a wonderful host. We hope to visit again!!
