Vanessa’s space was bright, airy and lovely! She has plants everywhere, white walls and white bedspreads which makes everything feel fresh and open, which is nice to come home to. Vanessa was able to let us check in two hours ahead of time since we arrived earlier than we had anticipated. She was so sweet! She spent time showing us around her space, telling us about her life and passions and gave us plenty of suggestions and tips of her favorite places to go in the city! She wrote everything down, broke it down into different areas, how to get places, and numbered which things we should do in what order. One of her suggestions became our favorite place for dinner!!
Warning to those with heavy luggage or knee issues, her apartment is on the fourth floor up a twisting staircase! (I was traveling with my mother and sister and my mother found the staircase a little daunting at 62 years old and a heavy carry on suitcase).
The apartment is located in a quiet corner of Paris, close to a metro and taking the line 7 (if I am remembering correctly) is usually how you start any metro trip to wherever you want to go in the city from there! (My sister and I LOVE the Paris metro). There is a bakery down the street and around the corner, and a market as well for anything you may need.
Communication with her was consistently quick and easy. She even had tips for us when we told her where we were headed next in France.
This was a true AirBnB experience! We hope to come back again to Paris and get to stay in Vanessa’s lovely space!
