This is truly a hidden gem in the Paris Air Bn'B collection. The apartment is a recently renovated duplex: a relatively large and open living space and kitchen downstairs, and two reasonably sized bedrooms upstairs - each with their own bathroom. The furnishings are all comfortable (beds and linen are all new) - the place was spotlessly clean when we checked-in. Check-in was smooth. The spiral staircase between floors is narrow - but this is Paris, where space is at a premium. The most extraordinary aspect of the apartment is the courtyard: French doors in the living room open onto a private courtyard which, when we were there, was full of roses in bloom. The building is an old 'hotel particulier' - one of those glorious old Parisian buildings with stunning yellow limestone masonry and white latticed windows. We spent many an hour in the early morning and late evening sitting in the courtyard taking in the splendour. And then there was the silence. Despite being in the middle of Paris, there was hardly any traffic noise. We can heartily recommend Gaia's apartment and would happily return.
