First time doing Airbnb and I will admit I was a little nervous. Since my past experiences was always my friends booking it and I just show up. So this was a first for me and I will say it makes me want to do Airbnb for all my future travels!
First the host is excellent at communicating with me from when I booked to me leaving. I had a few questions that he responded in a timely manner. I did request for an early check in at 2 pm, which he was able to accommodate. He also speaks English and French so no language barrier. Super friendly and it was delight staying at his place!
Location is AMAZING! One of the main reasons why I booked was because of the location. If it is your first time to Paris then I would recommend staying here. Lots of food options within the area. There were times we didn’t take the metro because we could walk to where we wanted to go. The train station that takes you directly to the airport is about a 15 min walk. And the metro we took to get around the city is 5-10 mins depending which metro station you need. Oh and if you are using a pocket wifi and need to drop it off at a mailbox. There is a postal yellow mailbox right across the st from the bakery downstairs. Again super great location!
Advice for future people that want to book this Airbnb. Do bring your own shampoo, body wash, and conditioner. As he only has the hotel size for you. So once you run out you need to purchase some yourself. Ask for laundry pods and trash bags in case what is given is not enough. Example there was only 2 laundry pods and no extra trash bags. So but I asked and he provided some for me. If there is any questions ask! Like I wanted to know where the washer and dryer was and how to use it. Which I’m glad I asked because he explained how to use it. Lastly make sure you CLOSE the door when you enter the entry before going up the stairs to the apt. We came back on a Sunday night and I didn’t close the door fast enough. And this random guy came in asking us something in French. I just acted confused and told him sorry. Luckily nothing happened to us but it was very scary because something technically could have happened. So just be aware of your surroundings because even though your on vacation safety still comes first.
There’s towels for you to use 2 small and 2 large for body. No elevators but it’s just one flight up.
No regrets booking this place!
