This was one of our first Air BnB experiences, and it was fantastic! Maria was incredibly communicative leading up to and throughout our stay, which was greatly appreciated. We were arriving early in the morning, and she was more than willing to let us store our luggage in the apartment, even though it was not ready for us. Both Maria and her husband met us at the metro (which is less than a five minute walk from the apartment) and told us about the neighborhood and made suggestions of places to go, things to see and restaurants to try (we took them up on many of the suggestions too!). When we came back to the apartment in the evening, they had even left us a nice note and treat -- a very kind surprise! The apartment itself was lovely, plenty of room for all of your basic needs, and very clean. The location was great -- less than a mile from the Eiffel Tower -- and we felt very safe. We would definitely stay here again if we come back to Paris!
