We had a fantastic stay at this apartment. Anne-Laure is very responsive and kind, so you know you will be taken care of. She has a very safe self-check in process. It is very clear that she has put a lot of love into this home - it is lovely. It has everything you need and want, and nothing more. All of the furniture is comfortable (which I find rare in a lot of Airbnbs), including the bed and pillows (also rare). We slept very well. There is a huge shower with a rain shower head, great water pressure and plenty of hot water. Such a pleasure to have this, and not the typical tiny European shower! The windows open up onto a lively street and you can hear all the goings-on of the neighborhood. But when the windows are closed, it is perfectly quiet. We absolutely loved the neighborhood. Many cultures and ethnicities, yummy food everywhere - from traditional French to hip new cuisine, to Lebanese and Turkish sandwiches, and everything in between. And the location was perfect - a ten minute walk from Gare du Nord, a short stroll to the canal, and right above the Marais. I would stay here again and again, and recommend it to any couple (or single) who can walk up 3 flights of stairs. Thank you, Anne-Laure, for the wonderful stay, and for introducing us to our favorite neighborhood in Paris. We hope to visit with you again!
