We have had some wonderful Airbnb stays, but this one sets a new standard. The apartment is modern, stylish, beautifully decorated, and well outfitted. It's an astounding place, with dramatic interior spaces, a lovely interior courtyard, decks, and more. It's in the lively 11th, "where real Parisians live," as one guide said to us. We loved the area and would go back in a heartbeat -- untouristy, busy, and full of life. Everything we wanted was a stones throw from the apartment, including great little restaurants, shops, and more.
Nicolas and Jean-Yves are the best hosts, thinking of every little thing (like extra converters) and being incredibibly responsive to any need. We left wanting them as friends.
It's a great place for 8 people, and when you consider the price of four Paris hotels rooms per night, it is an excellent value.
We can't wait to go back.
