As others have mentioned, Aymeric’s location in Paris is ideal. It’s directly next to the Odeon, in a safe, quiet neighborhood within short walking distance of small shops, major sights, the Metro and buses. The building was lovely and old, with a beautiful, long spiral staircase to the 4th floor apartment. The apartment was spacious with large windows and very quiet, because most windows faced an interior courtyard. Aymeric quickly responded to inquiries during our stay, although we did not meet him in person.
A few things that would be good to be aware of or that could be improved upon: The apartment is definitely lived in. It felt rather cluttered and could have been cleaner and in better repair. For example, the shower head was broken so our kids had difficulty showering without getting the bathroom all wet. The toilet is in a separate room from the sink and shower/tub. The rooms are interconnected in a charming way, but you must walk through some to enter others. If you have a larger group or family, you may want to keep this in mind. It would be helpful to have a couple of fans. The windows were great most of the time but when we were there, temperatures were over 32C and it was very still and hot on some nights. It is difficult to open the windows all the way due to lots of furniture and decorations in front of them. Not having used an Airbnb that is a host’s primary residence before, I was a bit unclear about which items we (vs. the host) were expected to provide. For example, we needed to buy toilet paper, dish soap and detergent. Finally, perhaps a helpful tip: trash and recycling can be separated and disposed of in the small courtyard (doorway) off the foyer.
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely return.
