It was my first ever experience with Airbnb and I’m very pleased. Pierre’s apartment was beautiful and equipped and furnished with good taste. I work in real estate business so I tend to pay attention into details and condition. The historic building was romantic. Overall the flat was in rather good condition. The kitchen and bathroom were a combination of old Parisian style and modern industrial style and in very good condition. Large rain shower in heat was luxurious. The separate toilet was a nice surprice. Everything was very clean. The towels and sheets were like new. The kitchen machines as well as the washing machine were easy to use. The fridge was large. Wooden floors were in hot weather also cool and comfortable. The sofa bed was wide enough for two teenagers to sleep. The closets in the bedroom were large. The week was extremely hot, it would have been nice to have air conditioning. Fortunately there were two fans in the apartment. The other one of them could have been a bit larger or more efficient though. The view from the flat was not very special. Pierre and the club lord helped us well and answered quickly. We used the club lords services to get to the CDG airport. That worked well. Also the possibility to leave your luggage to Restaurant la Rotonde was handy and the personnel there were friendly.
The location was very good. Nearby is La Bastille metro station, which serves several metro lines. Rue de la Roquette has several restaurants, cafes and fast food bars. There are also several small supermarkets within short walking distance. The streets are lively and restaurants are open all night, but the noise didn’t bother us, the windows were well isolated. Marais neighborhood suited my family, it wasn’t the most elegant area, but I prefer everyday life and the joy they had there.
