I am known for finding hidden gems on AirBNB and this place was no exception! My dear friend who was born and raised in Paris visited once and was amazed at the size, location, and gorgeousness of the terrace, and couldn't help but exclaim at what a deal we got here. He also mentioned that the neighborhood was considered a safe one by Paris standards. I think older people and folks who don't want to be too close to nightlife will love this place, and it's super quiet (and well-insulated)!!
The place is spacious, clean, and comfortable. We spent many evenings on the terrace drinking wine and enjoying the weather after a long day of sightseeing (in summer I imagine this would be even better). The beds are very high quality, and there were lots of pillows (important for me because of hip problems). There are cute rustic crates that you can sort of arrange to your liking for suitcases or bedside tables, and there are plenty of outlets (don't forget your adapters). The kitchen is small but we still made a few meals with the deliciously fresh local ingredients from nearby markets.
It's only a block from one of the Metro lines -- the 8 -- and only 9 minutes or 11 minutes from two other more major ones (we used the 1 and the RER A respectively), so it was easy to get around from home, but the neighborhood is *just* outside of the touristy stuff, so you get a feel for "real" Parisian life! In general, we found it was always about 30 minutes to get to almost any major tourist site (Eiffel Tower, Louvre, Notre Dame, Rodin Museum, D'Orsay Museum), with Montmartre/ Sacre Couer being the farthest we encountered (at 44 minutes). The trains run every few minutes which is amazing by American standards, and as long as you avoid rush hour, not too uncomfortable, and the rides go by faster than you'd think.
Our favorite day we rented Lime scooters nearby and rode to Cimetière du Père Lachaise (where Jim Morrison and Oscar Wilde and Chopin and others are buried) and because the neighborhood isn't touristy we had little trouble on the sidewalks. And when we couldn't find scooters to rent on the way back, it was only about a half an hour easy walk. Just glorious!
Pierre is responsive and it's clear he wanted us to have a good experience in Paris, which was appreciated. Overall, this was a fantastic trip and our sweet little apartment was definitely just the thing to make it comfortable. Highly recommended.
