Our hosts (Florence and Clara) were very gracious and helpful and made us feel very welcome. Clara was the one who met us when we arrived. She provided us with information for during our stay and tourist suggestions. The apartment was great and has a fascinating history which is explained in the notebook of information provided in the apartment! It accommodated our family easily and our daughter's wedding perfectly. The location of the apartment felt secure and safe. It is down a gated alley which was open during the day and locked at night. The apartment was clean and accurately described in the Airbnb listing. It is a two minute walk to restaurants, shopping and the Metro. Perfect location for touring Paris. All-in-all this was a wonderful experience for our first Airbnb rental. We would highly recommend this apartment.
