My husband and I visited Paris in late April. Although Etienne was not in town to receive us, it was very easy to communicate with him and the Airbnb sitter responsible for giving us the keys. The apartment is located very close to the metro and several shops and restaurants. It is exactly as pictured. I loved the open kitchen concept which made the place feel bigger than it was. We were welcomed with a bottle of wine and a box of chocolates along with a personal note from Etienne. Staying in the apartment made our first experience in Paris so comfortable and better than we had hoped for. We would definitely book it again the next time we visit.
