Mai was extremely thorough in all communication prior to booking and prior to our arrival. She contacted me to check on our arrival and departure times and to organise for us to check in as soon as we arrived into Paris which was very early in the morning! Thanks so much for allowing us to move into the apartment early and also check out later! Seeing the pictures on the Airbnb website made us want to book the apartment straight away for our Paris trip. Arriving into the apartment we were even more blown away. This apartment is GORGEOUS. It is HUGE. It is EXQUISITE and the art deco aspect makes you feel like you have been transported to another era but of course with all the modern amenities; a fully equipped beautiful kitchen, fast wifi internet, central heating and full pressure hot showers. The apartment is meticulously clean and has everything one would need. Beds entirely comfortable with very warm bedding (our stay was during a cold and wet January). I did have to contact Mai once during our stay for a little assistance and she answered the phone straight away! She also has a lot of information inside the apartment about the surrounding area as well as restaurants recommendations and useful pointers. Paris is a walking city and if you are happy to walk 5-10 mins in all directions from the apartment you are going to see, shop, dine & drink in some of the most well known, famous and must go-to establishments or attractions of the city. Rue Saint Honore, Galleries Lafayette, Printemps, Madeleine Square, Avenue Montaigne, Opera and much more all 10 minutes away. On your street you have a plethora of cafes, small eateries, grocery shopping, a monoprix, a pretty good chinese restaurant just downstairs if you need a break from french cuisine, tabac, phamacy and I'm sure many other amenities I failed to notice. Need to go somewhere not within walking distance, taxis are easy to hail, or order an uber. No driver ever failed to locate our address. The metro is also 2 minutes away. I can't express enough how much our week in Paris was enhanced by staying in this apartment. Just the extra space alone (compared with hotel rooms in the same location) makes for a more logical choice. This apartment is great for a small group of friends or family as you can find you own little area to retreat to for some quiet time, or have a communal sit down for breakfast or evening drinks and canapes before you head out as there is so much divided space! Excellent apartment, excellent host, excellent price, there isn't anything negative to say! Thanks so much Mai for making our Parisian adventure even more special!
