Great experience from beginning to end! Penelope is a wonderful host - from allowing us to store our bags until the apartment was ready upon arrival in Paris to checking in on us mid-week to see if we needed anything, we couldn't have asked for a better first-time Airbnb experience.
The apartment is fully stocked upon arrival - there was even oil and vinegar in the kitchen. We did need to buy soap for the washing machine, but everything else was supplied for the first few days, including dishwasher tablets, garbage bags, dish soap, toilet paper, etc.
Perfectly situated minutes away from a supermarket and restaurants, and very close to several Metro stops, you couldn't ask for a better location in Paris! Very close to Centre Pompidou, and easy walk to the Louvre, Notre Dame and the Seine, among other tourist sites. Just remember, the apartment is in the centre of a bustling city, so don't expect the silence of the suburbs at night. Nonetheless, we slept easily - the bed is super comfy and the windows are new so we were never bothered by the sounds from the street below.
No need to look any further - this place is a 5-star apartment with all the comforts of home. Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again on a future trip to Paris!
