Hello. Our stay with Diane was both pleasant and also an authentic Parisian experience with a great location and easy communication with our host--although we never actually met her she was quick to respond and made check-in/out a breeze.
The location of this apartment was an easy walk or metro ride to all of the major sites within Paris. The neighborhood was quiet/safe and there were several cafes and small convenience stores within walking distance. Considering the price of local hotels nearby this Airbnb was a good value for my wife and our six year old son.
The apartment itself was a bit of a surprise from what we are used to on other travel adventures. The apartment appears to be the actual home of the host, in fact it seemed that Diane probably was staying at her place an hour before we arrived--books and personal belonging were strewn throughout the apartment, our host's laundry was still in the washing machine, dishes were still in the sink, shirts/clothes were hung up on racks and personal items were left out on shelves/tables without concern for intrusion. A large body sized broken mirror was in the entrance walkway and access to the stove was forbidden as Diane asked us not to use the stove due to fear of gas leaks. Essentially the apartment was small, unrefined and raw. With that said, Diane's place had an authentic charm that made us feel like we were Parisians living, working and assimilating to French culture. The water pressure in the shower was amazing and the views from her windows were interesting and inviting. This place is on the fifth floor but there is an elevator in place so for those with mobility issues you should be fine.
To conclude, I would stay here again with expectations that this is not a five star hotel but a simple small and basic place to stay. Diane is very easy to communicate with and the location is excellent.
