Our stay at Antoine’s place was above and beyond the best Airbnb stay we have ever had. Before anything else, I want to say that we had an emergency during our stay, and Antoine’s kindness and attentiveness made a scary experience so much less stressful. We will be forever grateful!
Now, for the apartment: We went in December. It was clean, warm, and cozy, and reminded us of home from the moment we walked in. Some Airbnb’s we’ve stayed in are just basic amenities in an otherwise empty apartment. But Antoine’s place was festive and decorated like they were expecting friends or family. Every amenity we could have possibly thought of was available, and the two things that weren’t (we needed some hangers and an iron) Antoine brought over that same night.
Just a practical word of advice, it is a lot of stairs to climb! But if you’re able, you’ll be rewarded with that stunning view from the living room :) Île Saint-Louis is nicely located and quiet and very charming. There are cute shops and restaurants - we wish we had been able to just wander and enjoy it more, but there never seems to be enough time!
If you’ve happened to stumble on this apartment in your search, just book it! Whether it’s your first time in Paris or not, we seriously cannot recommend staying here enough!
