Marie-Astrid is a good host and it is very easy to make arrangements with her regarding booking and arrival, use of her family apartment which really is as lovely as seen in the photographs. We booked the whole apartment and really enjoyed our stay in Paris. My family loved that we were staying in a family home rather than a ubiquitous hotel room. The apartment was ideal for our needs. The beds were very comfortable. I enjoyed cooking in the kitchen! The apartment is a two minute walk from the metro and from there one can quickly get into the middle of Paris. It is also a short walk to Montmarte – a lot closer than it appears on a map. This was our first airbnb and the experience has given us lots of confidence to book up accommodation through the site again.
