My trip to Paris was quite short, only from Thursday to Sunday mixing a business meeting plus the chance to see some sights with my 11 year old son.
This was our first AirBnB experience.
From the moment I booked everything was smooth and well explained, the communication from Manue, our host, was first class, mainly on email and text, it was clear and not intrusive. Our stay clashed with both the Champions League final and the French Open tennis and prices in Paris that weekend were truly extortionate.
The apartment was absolutely perfect for our needs and not overpriced - so big thanks for that. The cost could have been tripled given the circumstances.
The check-in process was really easy. The entry details were provided in an email and we were met on arrival by Manue's daughter, Celeste, who was super helpful, gave us a brief tour - all the essentials, and kindly left us to it.
Location wise, the apartment is a 10 min walk from Gare Du Nord and 2 mins from Gare d'lEst which has all the metro connections to get about the city. There is a supermarket and other shops in the vicinity. Really easy to get about and obtain any supplies for your stay.
The apartment has everything you need and feels very homely. Great for couples or a family. Coffee machine, fans, 3 bedrooms, big fridge etc.. and a very tasteful vinyl music collection.
There is a little bit of noise in the evening due to a nearby bistro, but for us, this in no way detracted from the experience. I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for value, location and the chance to experience a glimpse of real urban Paris. Highly recommended.
