Cécile was a lovely and thoughtful hostess! She welcomed us with a bottle of wine and fruit juice for the children, an efficient and clear introduction to the apartment, and two sets of keys.
Cecile's apartment was convenient for a couple accompanied by two grandparents and two children. Everything was easy to use, from dishwasher to washing machine to breezy windows. There was a lift (necessary for the elders) and the sofa bed was the most comfortable my husband and I have ever slept on.
At other times, Cécile and her family live in this apartment, so it reflects their personalities in a friendly way. Airbnb guests are asked to replace some of what we use, and that was no burden.
The location was close to metro and grocery (about 5 minute walks to each). It was an easy walk uphill to the heart of Montmartre (about 20 minutes). We alternated between cooking in the apartment and staying out late eating elsewhere Paris, so we did not have a chance to try local restaurants. The view from the apartment balcony is delightful and peaceful.
When we had questions in the middle of our visit, Cécile was easy to reach by text as well.
Thank you so much!
