We enjoyed our stay in Katia's apartment literally right in the middle of Paris.This was our first airbnb experience& we were very happy.It was exactly as in the photo ,a lovely beautifully decorated 1 bedroom place on the 1st floor above restaurants & shops.Katia's friend Julien was there to meet us with the key when we arrived from the train,waiting patiently as we were late! He explained about the apartment,how the TV worked & gave us advice & hints about what to do & where to go.Katia had left a welcoming note,a bottle of wine & some toiletries. The apartment was so convenient for anything we wanted to do! 5 mins walk to the nearest Metro ,not quite 15 mins walk to Notre Dame & only about 15 mins to the Louvre .Good supermarket was just across the busy pedestrian walkway.Bed was nice & comfortable,bathroom compact,good hot water service.Plenty of night life around that didn't settle down til quite late,but that was a small issue we expected that,because of where it is located.There is building work going on around the apartments ,but they didn't start til abut 8 ish.We were out most days visiting all the tourists spots.A lovely city with so much to see, very busy & vibrant.We really enjoyed Paris & having a little " home away from home" meant we could come home& relax after a busy day sightseeing. We are looking forward to our next Airbnb apartment in London. Thanks Katia for letting us enjoy your place for our Paris trip!
