Amedeo's mother is a very attentive host who offered great advice for our Paris stay. More and more, airbnb apartments are simply businesses rather than somebody's home, but this is not the case with Amedeo's apartment. It's a real Parisian's flat. It's cluttered and has some of the quirks of staying in someone's home, but it does not have that soulless feel like some airbnbs and hotel rooms. The apartment is well-cleaned but it was necessary to work around Amedeo's things and find the right kitchen tools, for example. Cleaning upon leaving was made a bit harder due to clutter. However, don't let it put you off. It's really a lovely, homey place. It's rather big for a Paris flat. Fit a family of four without a problem. Very close to the metro and bus stations. Excellent boulangerie down the street.
