We had a wonderful time in Melanie’s apartment. She is a fantastic host, was quick to reply to our messages, and we appreciated the guide that she prepared for the apartment and the neighborhood, and which she shared in advance with us. In it, she listed neighborhood parks and restaurants, as well as emergency phone numbers and addresses for pediatricians and pharmacies, which was helpful and reassuring for parents traveling with two young children. The apartment itself is very pleasant (especially the upper floor), and the bathroom is spacious for a Parisian apartment. The toilet is separate (not unusual for Paris). The location was perfect for us - far away from the more touristy areas of the city, yet close to two metro stations, and easily reached by public transportation. What made our stay here stand out from other Airbnb experiences were the welcoming touches: there were reusable bags available for us to shop with, as well as umbrellas, and Melanie left thoughtful notes in the kitchen, where she left us some Nespresso capsules (much appreciated!), and labeled drawers she had emptied for us to use in the bedrooms. We had the opportunity to try out two of the restaurants she suggested for dinner, and enjoyed them both. Definitely an Airbnb gem. Thank you, Melanie!
