As a first time traveler to Paris from the states (coming in by car from Germany with family) getting to the Airbnb was a bit tricky due to its central location. However, if you do drive in, there were two parking garages within a 5 minute walking distance for medium to small cars. However, as mentioned above, the location was perfect for our needs. The Gare de L’est train station is close by and is an easy walk from the Airbnb, which made traveling to all the main attractions around Paris a breeze! The Airbnb is on the ground floor, so you will hear the commotion outside at night. No matter, the place was clean and spacious for our family of 5, and served us greatly!
