If you are looking for a place to experience authentic Parisian way of living, this is the perfect place for you. This is where local people live their everyday lives. 3 minutes walk to metro station, 7 minutes train ride to city center by line #11. It gives you the opportunity to blend in with the locals. You will commute with them, go to the same boulongerie, fruits and vegetables store, florist, cafe, bar, and pharmacy with them, all of which are within minutes of walk. By the end of my one-week stay, I started to feel home when I get back to the neighborhood, greeting the same store keepers. I even was asked for directions in the metro. As a solo female traveler, I feel safe walking around any time of the day.
As for the apartment itself, it's in a charming building, it's spacious and clean, the decorationsare aesthetically pleasing. It also comes with perks that a typical Parisian apartmentdoesn't have: king size bed, dishwasher, washer and dryer, double vanity. I also appreciate the all white bed linens and towels, which give the luxury hotel vibe.
The host Nadir was great too. He sent a most comprehensive house manual and local suggestions I've ever seen on Airbnb a couple of days before my trip. He was waiting for me downstairs when I arrived. He walked me through the apartment. He checked in with me a couple of times during my stay. I feel that he was treating me as his guest with care.
I am already planning my next trip and I will definitely stay here again.
