WOW!!! Everything from booking to check in, the actual stay through check out were incredible. The location is fabulous, Kitchen is well stocked, instructions and recommendations are fantastic. Chris was really communicative and responsive even though he was out of town while we were there, to the point that the cleaning person came a bit early - which was no big deal at all- and he was *immediately* VERY apologetic. The flat is lovely, and very Parisienne- though small, it is well thought out to maximize the space there is, with a pull out sofa and a bed in the loft (watch your head! Lol)… the mattresses are both very, VERY firm which was a bit of a struggle for us but I have several bad back/ neck/ hip issues and struggle with most mattresses away from home, so I expected some discomfort, and that had nothing to do with the quality of the beds (these are def high quality mattresses, just very firm). Unlike many Airbnb’s I’ve stayed at, nothing here is done on the cheap or at the comfort expense of the guest. The private courtyard is fantastic and convenient for smokers and AM coffee or late night wine and cheese- is decorated adorably, though enclosed on the sides is open to the sky, but know that the likelihood of having a private conversation is low, and you can definitely hear others going about their daily business around you- again, Parisienne and to be expected here! The other really great thing about Chris’ flat is that THERE ARE NO STAIRS TO CLIMB! Usually in Paris, “first floor” men’s up a flight of stairs, but this unit is just inside the second security door…. There are many cafes and restaurants right outside the door, a bakery (FABULOUS croissants!!!), and a handful of late night bars within the block, as well as a metro station steps away… which reminds me, as noted in the listing, the flat is right over the metro, so you will definitely hear what sounds like a bowling ball rolling down the lane a few times each hour, and it did seem to go all night despite the metro not running 24 hours. It didn’t bother me at all, esp after the first frw hours, but my partner did struggle a bit (he also has some sensitive hearing issues which I think contributed to his struggle with the metro noise). Ultimately, the place is fabulous, Chris is amazing, and superhost status is deserved! Clean, comfortable, c’est parfait!
