We decided to use Airbnb for our first trip to Paris and came across Jean-Francois' lovely, modern apartment. Upon arrival, Jean-Francois helped us carry one of our luggages which was very nice of him. He gave us a quick tour of the apartment, showed us a book of information which includes maps around the general area, recommendations on places to eat, and how to operate the washer and microwave just to name a few. The apartment as a whole was very spacious for the two of us and surprisingly quiet as it faces a private courtyard (access code entry only). The apartment is also nicely located as you are steps away from bakeries, cheese & wine shops, pharmacies, fruit & vegetable stands, restaurants, etc. After a day of sightseeing and walking, it was nice to come back to the apartment, take a nice hot shower and relax. The bed was very comfortable and I love the duvet, it was nice and warm. There are extra pillows in the cabinet as well. The bathroom and separate toilet area was also great. There was a lot of counter space surrounding the sink which I appreciated, especially when I was getting ready to go out. We also appreciated the full-length mirror adjacent to the bathroom, with a separate spot lighting where I can really get up close to do my makeup. Those little touches are things one really notices, and sometimes a lot of hotels often forget to include. We had quite a bit of meals in the kitchen/dining area and that whole space was very useful to us during our stay which saved us some money from dining out all the time. If you plan on bringing a laptop to watch movies, make sure you bring an HDMI cord as the LG TV in the living room has an HDMI slot. We were able to watch movies from our laptop using a bigger screen by doing this. It was like we were at home. We also liked that there were converters available so we can plug most of our electronic items with no problem. There were a few electronic items which unfortunately did not work for us (e.g. hair straightener, electric shaver) but that was okay and we managed without them :) We used the washing machine during our last few days there which was a big bonus, by not having to deal with dirty clothes coming back from our trip. We wished there was an actual dryer unit (we dried most of our clothes using a metal drying rack) which would speed things up but we fared fine by using the hangers in the closets and hanging some of our clothes near the heaters. Overall for our first trip in Paris, we couldn't be more happier with the accommodations and our host. Jean-Francois has been an outstanding communicator from start to finish and that really makes all the difference. Thank you, Jean-Francois!
