Marion was an ideal host and the flat was absolutely fantastic! Although I have visited Paris many times, this was my first experience renting from Airbnb. We couldn’t have been happier! We were a group of 3, my mom and my 3 year old son and me. Marion was very thoughtful about preparing the beds accordingly, making ample space in the closets for our things, and having a child’s plastic place setting & cup that she purchased especially for our stay. She asked us many times in advance if there was anything special we needed. She provided a welcome manual with all the info we needed to know about the apartment and the local area. Her housekeeper greeted us upon arrival and departure and was also very kind and helpful, and available by phone to answer any questions. Marion was also available before and during our stay via e-mail/text and was very responsive. The flat is clean, spacious and comfortably luxurious. It is decorated very tastefully with many objets d’art she wisely placed out of our child’s reach! A highlight is the number of windows and the balcony which surrounds nearly the entire length of the apartment. That lends to a sunny, breezy atmosphere and pleasant view over the rooftops from its 5th floor location. There was a wonderful selection of books and DVDs available that we didn’t have time to enjoy! The kitchen was fully equipped. The beds were comfortable and the linens were plentiful and of a high standard. The flat is situated at an intersection of several streets yet it is surprisingly quiet. The best of both worlds, it is tranquil and removed from the more hectic and touristic parts of the city, yet everything you need is just at your doorstep; several supermarkets such as Monoprix, bakeries, cafes, boutiques, etc. The metro Michel Ange is a 3 min. walk, just a few stops/minutes away from the Eiffel Tower. This apartment has most every advantage and we would return in a heartbeat. When Marion returned from her travels, we had the opportunity to meet her. She is delightful! Thank you Marion!
