This is the perfect Paris apartment, and Gary is the perfect Airbnb host. Situated near several Metro stops and at least a few internationally-known restaurants, and equally close to the always-delightful Jardin du Luxembourg, the location is truly amazing. The apartment itself is clean and an incredibly efficient use of space, with a great kitchen you'll want to stay in now and then to enjoy. A small clothes washer/dryer unit makes dealing with longer stays much simpler. Thoughtful details like a Nespresso machine and kitchen supplies make the place already feel like home. As for Gary, he is an attentive host who achieves that great Airbnb balance of being just involved enough to be reassuring and just detached enough that you feel like the place is your own. On the day we arrived, he asked his father Alain to meet us and check us in, and Alain was delightfully detailed in showing us around, explaining how things worked, and steering us in the direction of a few attractions. All in all, this was among my most delightful experiences with Airbnb.
