I'm a frequent visitor to Paris and for years now, I have been staying at a favorite hotel near Odeon, but this December I learned that it was closed for renovation. So I searched through all apartments on AirBnB in this area of Paris and came across Patrick's. His really was the only one that seemed to have it all: great design, a fresh, immaculate look to it, a good amount of natural light -- all for a quite reasonable price. And now, having just spent five nights there I can say that it was even nicer than I had hoped for! The photos are accurate but the reality is even better. The place is perhaps four times the size of my little hotel room. It's comfortable and very quiet (you're on the top floor and there are no next door units) -- with a view to the lovely rooftops of Paris. Inside, every detail is well thought out: dimming lights, comfortable sitting area, good bed, neat little kitchen, gorgeous bathroom.
I have to say that Patrick was ready to help and quick to answer most any question I put into an email. He has a wonderful, welcoming manner and he truly makes you feel like a most special guest.
As others have said, it is on the top floor, but truly it posed no problem. In one of my many walks up, I met another French family living in the building and it struck me that I was like them -- living in a Parisian apartment, three steps from the river and two steps from the heart of the 6th. What a lucky lucky find this was!
Many many thanks, Patrick, for all that you do for your guests!
