My favorite thing about staying at an AirBnB is feeling like you're in the midst of the community and its culture. This apartment hits all the finest points of being in Paris' city center - proximity to a gourmet cheese store, wine shop, great restaurants/night life - while still exemplifying the beautiful historical architecture and style of old Paris. It was quite special to be given a personal tour by Matt and shown his family's artwork and furniture from past generations. You can tell that this home has been well-kept by its family. Note: I was a bit surprised by all the graffiti in this upscale area.. until I noticed it all over Paris - even on historic buildings. Graffiti seems to be part of the cultural norm of today's Paris. Matt also gave us some practical advice on avoiding yellow vest protest activities. This was a lovely place for our family and we would definitely stay here again. - Fercho Family
