The apartment was exactly as it appeared on Airbnb. It is on the 5th floor of a building but there is a small elevator which was useful when transporting our luggage upstairs. The apartment was very clean and had all the amenities including a dishwasher and laundry. The rooms were spacious and decorated with what appeared to be pieces brought back from travels. The apartment is within walking distance of 2 metro lines and a main train station which was very useful. There are also restaurants and grocery stores nearby. The area is very safe at all times, and also very quiet.
Despina was unable to meet us on our arrival, but her daughter met us and was very charming and took the time to show us around the apartment, to show us how everything worked and also to answer questions. She also provided coffee, tea, and small snacks for us which was much appreciated.
Despina always answered emails and texts very quickly. We enjoyed our stay in the apartment and in Paris very much! I highly recommend Despina's apartment for those who want an authentic Parisian experience. Merci Despina!
