My husband and I visited Paris for the first time and I researched every listing on AirbnB for Paris before I chose Julien's perfect apartment!
I felt so comfortable with him right away as he answered my questions promptly and professionally but in a friendly way and made me feel like I could trust him. He provided information about our arrival and made arrangements for us to get the keys that were convenient and easy. The apartment was even better than the pictures! It was spotlessly clean and had everything you would need! The kitchen and bathroom were modern and the shower was hot. We had breakfast complete with nespresso every morning and felt like we were in our own home. The bed was large and the mattress was comfortable with a great duvet and luxurious pillows.The sofa(sofa bed) was a way to relax at the end of the day with a glass of wine and the window open listening to the sounds of the street below.My husband has told all our friends that what I liked the best about Paris was coming home to Julien's apartment and to this unique and beautiful neighbourhood. A chocolate shop downstairs, a choice of many places to eat within a few feet, bakery, ice cream shop , fruits and vegetables, churches, parks right there! All in the great historic and trendy but authentic neighbourhood of St Germain de Pres! The metro and subway just a walk away and most of the sights and treasures of Paris within walking distance. We have never stayed with Airbnb before and ussually stay in very pricey hotels- this was by far better and more relaxing than any hotel. I was worried about security but both the entry door and the apartment door were incredibly secure and we were comfortable leaving our things in the home and felt secure during the night. Even though this apartment is just off a busy street, the little street it is on is quaint and quiet and the bedroom is at the back so it is very restful at night! We would be thrilled to be able to return to this place on our next trip to Paris! Thanks Julien!
