Emily and I were new to airbnb and having Cristina as our host for our first ever stay could not have gone any better!! She was incredibly easy to communicate with and responded to all our emails and questions in great detail and in a timely fashion. The instructions to the apartment from Gare du Nord were very straight forward and she was home to help us check in and orient us to the apartment. Pick up the keys first so that you can use the elevator rather than carrying your bags up the 6 flight of stairs. The apartment had everything we needed including a coffee machine. The location was amazing and central to everything!! We definitely would stay here again!!!
