The apartment is lovely, and as it’s a family home has a lovely welcoming and relaxing vibe - we felt right at home as soon as we arrived. We stayed here for 6 days as a family of 4, with two teens 17 & 14 and had plenty of space. The apartment is large and has everything you need, fully equipped kitchen, washer, dryer, hair dryer, iron, WiFi, towels etc (no tv but that wasn’t an issue for us). It’s even better in reality than in the pictures.
It’s located in a great place, right near Place de Republic and all the places you need to get to are easy to walk or get the metro to. We walked most places so we could soak up the Paris sights - there are good local restaurants around and all the restaurants in the Marais are close by, Pompidou about 20 minutes away and Sacre Couer about 30 minutes walk. We used the public Velib bike hire and rode to the Eiffel Tower and around the city too - the cycle lanes are everywhere in Paris so easy to use and felt safe to cycle around.
We had booked another Airbnb and the host cancelled the day before we arrived (in the middle of a bank holiday weekend!) so we booked here last minute and Gabrielle agreed to get the apartment ready for us at really short notice, and they were really helpful and accommodating. We were so glad we stayed here instead as it was perfect for us and Gabrielle and Oliver were great hosts.
We would definitely stay here again as we felt like we saw the real Paris and we were so at home in the apartment.
