It was my first time to book on Airbnb and me and three of my friends are glad to have chosen Simone's place.

She promptly responds to emails.

She has a wonderful home that has a good space. It is clean and tidy. Everything is exactly the same as you see in the pictures.

Everything was organized before we even arrived. And while she was not in Paris during our stay, we had a warm welcome from her friend Yael.

Once you get into her house, you'll see complimentary post cards of Paris along with the print out of her notes. The notes are for almost everything that you would need to know about the house (how to operate the appliances, house rules, etc) and some guides about the neighborhood and transportation to and from places of interest.

We also checked out at 5pm at no extra cost. I guess we were lucky no one was booked on the day we left.

Lastly, Bassin de la Villette is a gem just at the back of her street. It is a perfect place to relax and unwind. It has good amount of cafes and restaurants. We enjoyed eating at Peniche Antipode (this one especially) and Le Bastringue, as well as the boat ride.

Overall, we had a wonderful stay.
