I have encountered many great Airbnb hosts, but Jean-François and Christian stand out as undoubtably the nicest and best hosts I have ever encountered over many years of staying in Airbnbs. My visit was nearly 4 weeks long and it was especially easy to arrange a convenient arrival and access appointment. Upon my arrival, Jean-François gave me an extraordinarily thorough walk of the neighborhood, pointing out the best bistros, boulangeries, patisseries, restaurants, cafés, première produce, boucheries and cheese shops and even a lovely park within a few blocks walk of their Airbnb. He was right about every single recommendation he gave me. Both hosts also checked in with me several times to make sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed for an enjoyable stay and Christian even brought me a new fan anticipating the over 40℃ forecast for the following day.
Their studio apartment is exactly as represented on Airbnb’s web site: exceptionally clean, comfortable, very well ventilated (even on that very hot day in Paris), full length “blackout” curtains, well-lit, comfortable shower, very comfortable pull-out bed/sofa, stove, microwave and plenty of storage space for cloths, luggage, etc. The studio was very quiet, on the ground floor, quite safe and in a wonderful neighborhood equidistant to the Nation and the Bastille with all the wonderful things those neighborhoods have to offer. The bus, metro and RER are all within a very short walking distance from which you can get to virtually anywhere in Paris is a short amount of time. The studio is much more than adequate for one or two people on even extended stays and I recommended it wholeheartedly and especially the two terrific hosts.
