The apartment was perfect, it was roomy and had everything you need for a great vacation. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom impeccable, the kitchen well-equipped. I loved the location - a lively neighborhood, very Parisian and not too touristy, so you can feel like you actually live there. You have everything around you - Metro, cafes, restaurants (try the Vietnamese just across the street!), boulangeries, supermarkets, pharmacies... And if you want to go shopping, Rue de Commerce, just around the corner, is the ideal place. The Eiffel tower is within walking distance, and everything else is a few metro stations away.
I can't imagine a more welcoming host than Marie Sophie. She was attentive to my needs and made my stay pleasant and easy. She's also very knowledgeable about culture and art, and gives excellent tips. And above all, she made me feel like a real guest, not just an Airbnb guest! Meeting her was one of the things I cherish most in this trip.
