We really enjoyed staying at Kevin and Elsa's charming and lovely place - it looks exactly as on the photos, but it is much more charming in real life!

If you like staying close and convenient to public transportation in an apartment that you instantly feel at home in, then this is the place.
The location is great due to the big central station just next door. And as opposed to many others, the Gare de l'Est is a pretty building, and the neighbourhood is much better than many others around central stations.

Kevin has been very easy accessible from before we booked this place. He has been great and very fast at replying if we had any questions etc. and he has during our stay been very concerned about we didn't miss out on anything. For me, this is a top host!

Upon arrival we were greeted by an airbnb sitter, who was nice and showed us around the apartment and told us how things worked.

The apartment is very lovely and spacious, however, the small bed (mezzanine) right under the ceiling is recommendable for a small/short person. The ceiling is low and a tall person wouldn't be able to sit up or stand up without hitting the ceiling. Preferably for bigger children. However, be careful, the small ladder up to the mezzanine can feel a bit slippery.

The two bathrooms were great and spot on. But again, if you are very tall, be carefull with standing up in the bathtub, as the ceiling here as well some places is low. However, this wasn't an issue for us, as we aren't tall people.

All in all, thank you Kevin and Elsa for making us feel welcome in your home - it has been great and the best way to stay and experience Paris.
