Nestled into the chicest and sweetest part of Paris is Patrick’s Airbnb which was originally a 17th century hotel. Located in St. Germain in the Latin Quarter, just steps from the Seine, a block from Notre Dame, and less than a block from the St. Michel Metro stop, Patrick’s apartment is perfectly situated for someone dying to live as a Parisian, and not just stay in an apartment for a vacation. The apartment itself is “la la bohème” incarnate. The space was artfully designed at the top of a 5 floor walk up, with an entrance bathed in light and gorgeous beams that draw one’s eyes to the spacious living space, with a snuggly bedroom on the right, and to the left is the intentionally contemporary kitchen leading to a bathroom that is spa-like, the perfect place to refresh after long walks all over the lively city. Dream doesn’t even begin to describe this lovely apartment! All the windows on the right side facing the Seine have quintessential views of Parisian rooftops and the other windows face into the building rooftop. There is also a perfectly placed table with two chairs that was topped with a red rose and bottle of wine next to the tv and sofa. The apartment itself is cozy and quiet, warm and inviting, peaceful and perfection. Patrick designed the apartment and while we did not meet with Patrick, we were greeted by his friend Benoit when we arrived (who graciously carried all our luggage), and also spent time explaining his neighborhood as well as showing us his favorite restaurants and boulangeries on a homemade map that we used every day! Benoit and Patrick were so good to us, they even gifted us a lovely perfume set and arranged for a taxi at the end of our stay. It’s been almost two weeks since we left Patrick’s apartment and not a day goes by that we don’t miss it. Everything about Patrick’s Airbnb is perfection: The apartment itself, location, incredibly friendly professionalism and ease of scheduling as well as communication. We will be back: we hope sooner rather than later! Merci beaucoup Patrick and Benoit!!!
