This was a nice value Airbnb only a little bit away from attractions in Paris. It takes only about 20 minutes by metro to get to the Louvre or to the Eiffel Tower. By train from the airport, it’s about an hour. I would also recommend trying the electric scooters and bikes! A short 20 minute bike ride on mostly isolated lanes is a lot of fun and a nice alternative to the metro.
The Airbnb itself is pretty nice. It has an air conditioner, espresso, small sink. Really everything you need. The bed is very comfortable, which is a big win. The shower was a bit weird. It is extremely sensitive, and it’s hard to dial in the perfect temperature. Additionally, the water seems to back up quite a bit unless you turn it down, but that’s challenging because it’s so sensitive. A slight change to the handle results in very hot and fast water, or the opposite. The stairs to get into the apartment were very steep and narrow, which is expected in a Parisian apartment.
The host allowed us to drop our bags off early so that we could do stuff in Paris before the actual check-in. This is very nice for international flights arriving early in the morning.
There is also a lot of stuff to do in the neighborhood, with many bakeries and cafes within a few minutes walk.
Overall, we had a very pleasant stay.
