We'd like to start off by saying the apartment is in an extremely accessible location. Literally a few steps from the metro which gives you easy access to the famous sights in Paris. We loved that it was in good proximity to tourists spots without it being overcome by tourists (I guess what we're trying to say is it's a good balance of quiet and commercial).The apartment itself is gorgeous. Ample space for 2 people (personally we think it is ideal for couples) and pretty much embodies everything you like about Paris... It's sophisticated yet cozy and homey. It's romantic with a beautiful garden on the other side of big windows. The space truly is somewhere you'd be able to relax in after a long day out and about. With heating and air conditioning, a hot tub, a walk in shower with a separate toilet and a big bed, it is perfect for a week long stay in Paris.
Now on to the host.
Gaelle is extremely professional and accommodating. Going far and beyond what a hostess is expected to do. She is very easy to communicate with (she is fluent in English which is a godsend for non French speaking visitors). We have stayed in a couple of airbnb properties and to be honest this is unlike those we have been to. You really feel like you're right at home. She leaves you with enough privacy but at the same time by just an email or text you have someone willing to help out with directions or options on where to go to and how to get there and experience the finer points of this amazing city.
All in all, our time in Paris was made more special by staying in Gaelle's place. We already have plans to go back and Gaelle's home is definitely the option for our next stay.
