The stay in Aymar's place was just perfect. From the very start, communication was clear and prompt. Access to the flat is incredibly easy - a bus from the Gare du Nord and Gare de l'Est which stops right outside the front door. The flat is beautifully decorated with impeccable taste and yet very homely and relaxed too. For me it symbolised what airbnb is all about - a possibility to go to another city and feel perfectly at home in a gorgeous setting. There were some nice touches too - a bottle of crémant in the fridge and a little booklet suggesting local places and ideas for visiting Paris. The area is lovely too - safe, quiet and with some good places to eat (special mention for the brilliant bakery!). I've stayed in lots of places in Paris and this was the best - we had space, peace and yet ease of access to the centre with a metro at the end of the street. I cannot recommend this place highly enough!
