I have used airbnb and vrbo many times in the past, and never have I been treated so well by my hosts. They spent over an hour with us in the apartment and then gave us a tour of the neighbourhood, stopping to help us buy metro passes, and dropping us at the door of the restaurant where we had reservations. Amazing. We had a minor problem with the key the next day and they responded immediately and everything was solved. Very warm, friendly, they do not come any better. They also arranged to have a taxi waiting for us at the airport and one to pick us up to take us back to the airport.
I loved the apartment. Very spacious and comfortable, nice and cool when we returned after a hot day of sightseeing. The neighbourhood is fantastic. Near the Pantheon and a host of outstanding restaurants, near the fabulous Rue Mouffetard market, Notre Dame within easy walking distance. Actually, most of the major sites are within walking distance. But when they are not, there is a metro stop nearly on the doorstep. Bakery, grocery store, and wine store nearby, and at the foot of Rue Monge there is a cheese store, butcher, fish store, wine store, and bakery. But we preferred the Rue Mouffetard market.
Bottle of wine, fresh fruit waiting for us when we arrived.
