I absolutely loved my stay!!!! This was my first Airbnb experience, and it was amazing. This place is perfect for anyone who wants to experience the real Paris.
My mother and I stayed at their home in the 16th arr for nearly a month while I was attending an EU/French law class outside of Paris.
First, and foremost, the hosts were amazing. They were extremely communicative. Answered all my questions while we were in the US. The mother met us at the apartment and showed us around. She even offered to walk us to the grocery store.
For Paris and any major city, this is a large apartment. We each had our own room. I was in the “master” and my mother stayed in the smaller room. I was initially worried about the size of the bed in the smaller room, but it was perfect for my mother. She is approximately 5’5’’. She also had a lovely view of the Eiffel tower.
The bathtub, dishwasher, and extremely hot water were a pleasant surprise. I travel throughout Latin America; the rest of the world does not have the same emphasis on hot water as we in the US.
The apartment had everything we need. A stove, pans, plates, forks, etc. Though we mostly enjoyed the amazing restaurants within steps of the apartment.
The apartment is located steps from the 9 and 10-metro lines and only one stop from the RER which you could take to Disneyland Paris. Around the corner, there is a grocery store. Also, there is a newsstand in front of the grocery store. Every Wends and Saturday there is a farmers’ market, or “marche.”
The 9 will take you to all the major tourist stops. The Arc d’ Triumph, the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, the Yves Saint Laurent Museum, and the Foundation Louis Vuitton and all located in the 16th arr. The site where Princess Di was killed is right next to the YSL Museum.
For those interested in tennis the apartment is located within mins of Roland Garros where the French Open is played.
The shopkeepers and people in the neighborhood were lovely. By the end of our stay, we felt as though we were part of the community.
