This was our family's first visit to Paris, as well as our first experience with AirBnb. We loved the trip and loved the apartment.
Anyone considering this place should rest assured that it's ideally located in a central neighborhood, with easy access to restaurants, bars, groceries, transportation links and landmarks. Our transit via train from the airport to the neighborhood was seamless and easy.
Herve was a very warm and hospitable host. Even though my timing estimate to our initial meeting point was way off, he still managed to find us right away and escorted us up to his apartment to show us the place and help us get settled in. While I can confirm that the photos contained in his apartment listing are accurate, I will say the apartment was even better when viewed in person. As my daughter said -- "I'd love to live in a place like this one day". The entire space is interestingly designed and eclectically furnished -- pretty much the polar opposite of a run-of-the-mill generic prefab hotel room. After getting us oriented, he then left us to enjoy the rest of our Paris visit -- but he was always quickly available by text message to answer any questions.
Other reviewers have already noted the stairs, so I have very little to add regarding that aspect -- other than to mention that as with many things in life, the view from the top is indeed worth the climb.
