This was our first trip to Europe with our tween kids and we found our Paris experience to be a dream! Mai sets the bar high for Airbnb hosts. Her flat is a gem, very large and spacious, and is in one of the best locations in Paris (you can walk everywhere within 15-30 min). She allowed us to check in early when we arrived and the keys were easy to get (and return) from the building caretaker, which was much appreciated. The house was extremely clean and we appreciated how they didn't leave many personal items in the rooms or bathrooms but left just enough for us to feel like we were home. There is a great market only a few blocks away, the kitchen was very well stocked, and we cooked several nights, and enjoyed breakfasts and coffee at home. Mai communicated warmly and openly from the first booking all the way through the experience and was extremely generous and thoughtful, giving us tips, advice and leaving us maps and even the use of their scooters. The house was very quiet, the showers were hot and had great pressure, and the best part was she allowed us to play their tuned piano (had silent mode for nights and mornings!). We all got to enjoy practicing our songs and making music in our Parisian home while we toured the City and spent quality time as a family. We can't wait to return to Paris and we would definitely stay at Mai's home again.
