Matthieu's place is exactly as described. It was the perfect size for our party of 3 and was extremely comfortable. I would book again in a heartbeat next time I come to Paris! Host: Matthieu is 100% the best host I've interacted with on AirBnb. He's very quick to respond, speaks multiple languages (and even offers tips to bridge the language gap), is extremely friendly and kind, and can answer any question you throw at him. He was flexible in our check-in and check-out times and even offered solutions to hold luggage if he has overlap with other guests. He's taken the time to make lists of hot spots for visitors: everything from cafes to clubs. One of his recommendations was for a bakery around the corner that didn't pull up on our maps, so we would have missed it entirely if it wasn't for him; after trying it we were hooked. The BEST baguettes in the world! Matthieu even went above and beyond by offering to be available in an emergency for us. I almost don't want to stay with any other host now, THAT'S how great our experience was. He will be everything you need, whether it's a host that gives you space or one that can be available throughout your stay. Merci, Matthieu! You have been perfect. Home: The place would normally be missed unless you knew exactly what you are looking for. It's part of a condo/apartment building that is above another business. This means the entrance is a door on the street that's very unassuming. However, it's very safe. At night, we would stand outside and smoke and never felt unsafe or saw any crime. In the day, it's business as usual for Paris so it's busy, but when you're up in the home you wouldn't know it. It's very quiet, even with the windows open! It's steps away from the subway - this was the most important thing for us when looking for a place to stay and Matthieu's place over delivered with its location! Matthieu does a great job of pointing out some nearby eateries and other hot spots so you feel confident and comfortable. There's an excellent pizza stand nearby that you should try. It's run by a guy who makes the pizza right in front of you from scratch and it's so good! There is a loft in the home that's unusual because of its low ceiling, but it never inconvenienced us and it actually was charming. The beds were comfortable also. The kitchen had everything you'd need if you were staying in a few nights. The windows were nice and large and there are heater units below them if it gets too cold. Everything was thought of to make our stay comfortable, and this home is everything you could want or need! If you're coming to Paris and relying on public transit/metro this is the place for you. If you're coming to Paris and want a place to yourself that's...
