Within a few hours of booking this apartment, I received an email from Olivier, with fantastic information and helpful suggestions. His correspondence really helped me plan the trip. This was my first use of Airbnb, and Olivier's communication made me confident that this was a great choice. He provided a well-written description of the local area, with suggestions for dining and entertainment, plus he provided an excellent "user guide" for everything in the apartment. Upon our arrival, he met us and helped with our bags. We received a quick orientation from him, and then we set out on our own to explore the beautiful city.
The apartment is secure, and located in a safe neighborhood for tourists. We often returned late at night, and always felt comfortable doing so. It's very convenient as well, being just a few blocks from the train / metro station, and within walking distance of many great sights in Paris.
I would definitely recommend this apartment to others. Olivier treated us like family, and made us feel welcome.
