Brigitte’s home was our first experience with airbnb, and it was a very good one. True to her photos and description it was a perfect space for the two of us on our 11 day stay. Brigitte’s lovely, light filled, clean apartment, decorated with original artwork and only steps from the Jourdain metro in diverse Northeast Paris, is on a quiet side street off of a bustling and interesting neighborhood filled with cafes, food markets, small artist workshops and anything else you may need. The area is located between Parc des Beaux Chaumont and Parc de Belleville, both with beautiful views of Paris from their hill tops. And, with the metro so close it’s only minutes to anywhere in the city.
Brigitte is a gracious, welcoming host, and the check-in was smooth with a much appreciated bottle of wine waiting for us (She even went beyond the call of duty in helping us locate a bag left in a taxi after our check-out). We are both glad to have met her, and hope to someday meet again (when our French is as good as her English).
