I'm allergic to cats sometimes, and Celine graciously reminded her tabby cat. Having taken an allergy tablet, daily it was of no consequence. I arrived early and Celine allowed me to book in much earlier. Her apartment is in a typical fashioned block, which was less than a two minute walk from the metro station. She gave me a proper french warm welcome. The room was perfect for me, with beautiful high windows overlooking a courtyard. The rooms high ceiling and comfy floor matress on a Japanese style raffia board. It's minamilst decor was perfectly suited to me. I'm a mum to teens, and it was a luxury to have an open, airy space. The radiator kept, the room cozy. The bathroom was very clean and there was a full length mirror in the petite hallway. Celine generously offered me yummy cheese one evening, which again showed her thoughtfulness. I asked for two towels which she provided. Having my own key, I was able to enter and leave freely. The apartment is in the 19th and right against the beautiful Parc des Buttes-Chaumont. It's one of the reasons I chose this airbnb. There are cafes, brasserie, bakeries all a short walk. If you want an authentic Paris apartment to sleep, this is not only that but perfect value for money. Celine replied promptly to all the queries, I had beforehand. I will certainly be back again.
