Aurélia’s place was absolutely perfect!
I was nervous because I am not too familiar with Paris, I don’t speak the language, and I’ve never used Airbnb before. Aurélia was at work when I arrived (I was able to pick any time that worked for me to arrive), so her mother, Catherine, greeted us. Catherine was amazing. Before we even got all of our luggage out from the Uber, Catherine came up to us and helped with our luggage. It was very comforting to have a smiling face first thing!
Some other helpful observations:
-There are lofts directly across the way, but they’re all office spaces and are empty at night. It feels very private.
-There is a button that draws a metal cover over the windows if you want extra privacy.
-It’s in the corner of one of the pictures, but there is a stand up shower in the bathroom. It’s updated, roomy, and had a rain shower head.
-The bed is comfortable.
-The tv is an Apple TV. My husband was able to watch Netflix on it and I’m sure there are a few other apps on there as well.
-Aurelia gave suggestions for places to eat. We tried L’Absinthe and I would also highly recommend this restaurant!!
-Each way you walk, there are local cafes within feet from the loft. Very convenient location!
-We used the metro entrance at Sentier a lot. It was very close.
-A convenient store is directly below the loft. It was so nice to have that close by!
Overall, Aurélia is a super host for one reason...because it’s the perfect experience for your stay in Paris!
