Gam’s apartment is one of the best Airbnb’s I’ve ever encountered.
The apartment:
It’s not like some Airbnb’s that are completely empty except for a bed, couch, and a semi stocked kitchen and wifi. Gam lives in this apartment with her family, which shows in the style and personality of her furniture and decorations. My fiancée and I stayed in the flat for 12 nights, and we really feel like we experienced Paris in a unique way. It has everything you need to be comfortable, and all of the extras to make you feel at home.
The location:
It’s hard to beat the 2nd arrondissement for a stay in Paris. It’s walking distance to the Louvre/Tuileries, and is surrounded by restaurants and bars. Gam’s apartment is close to three metro stops on different lines, so you’re never far from where you need to go. The street next to the apartment, Rue du Nil, has literally everything you could need as far as food goes. Fruit store, bakery, meat shop, cheese shop, wine bar, Michelin star restaurant, dessert shop, and take out restaurant.
The stairs can be tough, but they’re worth it when you see the view of the Paris rooftops. There is a small view of the Eiffel Tower, which is even better during the sunset.
I would recommend this apartment to anyone who is looking to experience Paris in an authentic way.
