Rocco was an excellent host. He communicated promptly and clearly so that when we arrived in Paris we were able to arrange access to the apartment easily. He greeted us there to show us everything we would need and surprised us with a bottle of wine. He checked in with us a couple of times during our week-long visit to make sure we had everything we needed and made himself available but was never intrusive.

The photographs accurately depict the condition of this spacious, beautiful, and comfortable apartment. We especially liked the well equipped kitchen and the fact that there are two separate bathrooms, one with a shower and one with a big tub. We also appreciated having a telephone with free calls to the United States and an elevator that made getting luggage to and from the 4th floor easy. Overall there were numerous details that were nice -- a spare light bulb when one burned out, for example. The apartment is well located for exploring Paris; it is easy to walk many places. There is convenient access to the metro, the RER, and the Velib bike rental system, with a station right outside the door. The area has many shops (including groceries), restaurants, parks, gardens, and museums, and we felt completely safe day and night. We will happily stay there again when in Paris. This was our first airbnb experience, and it was completely positive.
