Oh my! Antoine's place was spectacular! He was super accommodating considering that my booking was a last minute booking due to a horror story from another booking that had to be cancelled immediately after I had arrived that the other host's apartment. At nearly 11pm at night he immediately responded to my booking and came to me met to get acquainted with the place. For this I give FIVE stars alone! It was a stressful day and Airbnb customer service was not making things better, but Antoine came to the rescue!
His place is super luxurious. The beds & linens set me and my two tweenagers up for a great nights rest. We had enough towels, soap, shampoo/conditioner, and tissue to last us throughout our reservation of 3 nights in Paris. The washer was super useful, but we had to supply our own detergent. Ehhh, that wasn't so convenient being that we had traveled from The States and didn't bring any with us. Still we managed! Note that there is no dryer. But clothes strewn around the studio dried super quickly. We just used hangers from the closet and hung around the bathroom and pulled the door near closed. What you should know is that the heat is standard throughout the entire building. It cannot be adjusted except in the living room. The only way to combat the heater in the winter months is to open the sliding balcony door which was okay with us. The studio is well appointed and super comfortable. It can easily sleep at least 6 comfortably between the two beds and the sofa sleeper.
There are tons of eateries and shopping within minutes by foot. I mean literally right outside of the door. Uber eats delivers too!
There appears to be a school right nearby (maybe in the adjacent building) as we could near chatter from students in the early morning and afternoon to/fro school. Still, not a bother especially since I was traveling with kids and am accustomed to hearing chatter from them all day long. For some this could be a bother if they are trying to sleep in though. However, it only lasts for a few minutes.
To make the stay better, I would suggest that Antoine provide coffee/tea & sugar, hot cocoa service on a tray and/or an inexpensive bottle of wine for his guests. Although shops are just steps away from the door, sometimes a cup of coffee before getting dressed or tea after bath-time is just what a traveler needs to get the morning or night off to a good start. I would also suggest a simple written guide- maybe placed in a frame that shares info on things to do or how the public transit system nearby works. Fortunately for me, I am fearless and explored this on my own to find that bus #82 picks up at a stop 3 minutes walk away and will take me directly to the Eiffel tower. I purchased a book of 10 tickets for 14,90E that I could use between the bus or metro. This kind of info could definitley be helpful to future guests.
Overall, even with these small quirks if I could I would give Antoine and his place 10 stars. It is worth that and more!
