Sylvie and Maxime are the absolute best hosts! Fantastic communication, easy check-in and Maxime decorated the apartment with thr cutest balloons and garland for our 12yr old niece who was traveling to Europe for the first time; she LOVED it! He also made her a care package of trinkets and bought her snacks he thought she'd enjoy; incredibly thoughtful hosts! The location cannot be beat; it is close to the Metro, walking distance to many fantastic landmarks and the views of Hotel De Ville and Notre Dame not to mention the Eiffel Tower twinkling in the distance. The climb to the apartment could be problematic for some, but after a time or two, you get pretty used to it; even my 12yr old niece forgot about how many stairs there were by the second day. The beds are not the most comfortable (more hard than soft), but this is normal for our AirBnB experiences, but the shower was devine. The biggest negative of our trip was the heat and lack of AC. We happened to be in Paris during a 3-day heat wave, and have never experienced such heat in Paris before. Maxime tried his very best to keep us cool by purchasing a portable/rolling AC unit just before our stay, however, it was simply too hot (100°F until 7pm at night) to battle the heat and the apartment being on the top floor (heat rises), would become unbearable during the afternoon/early evening. This is no fault of the hosts, and we knew there was no AC: we just happened to be staying during inopportune weather. Overall, FABULOUS unit with an even better location/view and you cannot ask for better hosts.
