We enjoyed our stay at Himanshu and Diane's apartment. The location was great, within easy walking distance of many popular places in central Paris. The Marais district in arrondissements 3 and 4 has plenty of restaurants and shops near the apartment. The apartment itself is off a courtyard and completely quiet and private. Both the bus and Metro lines are easy to use and nearby. Having our own place made us feel like locals. It was great to have a kitchen and a washer/dryer, both of which we used more than we expected to. Buy a few groceries at the Monop' down the street to the right as you leave the apartment. We never did get to meet our hosts, but Madame Brosseau greeted us at the apartment and showed us around. We would gladly stay here again. This was our first AirBNB experience, but we were very pleased. We also saved a lot of money over staying at a hotel.
