Bénédicte's apartment is a treasure. The neighborhood is lively, with lots of interesting shops and restaurants to explore, and the apartment is 5 minutes from two different Metro stops (Goncourt and Parmentier), from which you can get pretty much anywhere. The apartment is bright and spacious (three good-sized rooms plus a bath) and everything in it seems to have been chosen with great care to enhance the space. Given that I was there in July and the weather was quite hot, I had been a bit worried about the lack of air-conditioning, but the apartment gets excellent cross-ventilation and Bénédicte provided two powerful fans that helped keep the space cool. Overall, Bénédicte was the best Airbnb host I have ever had; she was very quick to respond to questions, met me when I checked in and showed me around the apartment, and made several great recommendations as to places to eat and drink in the neighborhood. (I went to one of them, Les P'tites Indecises, on my last day in Paris and only wish I had gone sooner, because I surely would have returned)! All in all, a great experience.
