My husband and I ( from NY both in our early 60's and experienced travellers but always with tours) just got back from a wonderful 10 stay in Paris. The apartment was perfect. Very clean and large and had everything we could possibly need. It was steps from the opera metro stop which made it very easy to get around. There was also a taxi stand right on the corner for when the weather was bad or late at night, Checking in and getting the key was very easy as Elodie answer our arrival phone call within minutes. Unfortunately we did not get to meet her but the house keeper was very gracious about showing us the apartment and how the keys and door code worked. Even though her english was limited and we do not speak French we were able to understand each other. There are so many places to eat and shop . It was perfect, Even the chinese restaurant right downstairs has great food for those nights you are just to tired to travel. The entire Air BNB experience was a very positive one. hope to be back again
