Guillaume's apartment in Paris is extraordinary!! This is definitely one of the coolest apartments I've been in. The historic building has been nicely modernized while maintaining its old bones.
Guillaume met me at checkin and graciously accommodated my early check-in. Guillaume immediately made me feel welcome and comfortable. It's pretty clear he loves the apartment. It's decorated nicely and is very well equipped with everything I needed. I appreciated the great ironing board and iron for dealing with clothes from my suitcase. All the dishes and things you might need were available. The main bedroom/bath suite was excellent. Lots of light and windows. The bed was really comfortable. A/C was great but only needed it for a couple hours per day. The apartment has some powered skylight windows that open and create some great air flow when you open the other windows in the apartment. The whole place was really clean and tidy.
The location was excellent. it's located within an easy walk of three metro stations so you can access several lines. It was also really easy to get to both Gare du Nord and Gare de l'est via metro. Guillaume provided a great local guide within Air BNB so you could click on links and see pictures of the places he recommended. I went to a couple of the restaurants/cafes and they were really excellent!
