We are travelling for 3 months and this was our first Airbnb experience. It exceeded our expectations so we hope the other flats we have booked are as good. We had this flat for a week. Alex was a very accommodating host. His communication was excellent and he kindly met us and gave us access early on a Sunday morning. He left us generous starter packages of coffee, snacks, drinks, etc. The location of the flat is excellent and would be great for first timers in Paris or if you are Paris regulars. It was our 6th time in Paris and the last 3 times we have stayed near this neighbourhood. There are numerous nearby supermarkets, bakeries, bars and restaurants. There is some construction nearby but that is to be expected in Paris and the flat was double glazed so no noise with the windows shut. The flat is exactly as described - nicely decorated with modern appliances, a convection microwave, a coffee machine, an excellent washing machine and an extremely comfortable bed. It is up 4 flights of stairs. The shower had a great shower head and ample hot water. It is a very compact shower and the only caution I would mention about the whole flat is that a large person may find the shower too small. All in all this was an excellent introduction to Airbnb so thank you very much Alex.
