This was our first airbnb experience, and it couldn't have been better. We had excellent, warm communication from Salomé, and our check-in was super easy, with her sending the door and key box codes prior to our arrival. The apartment itself is lovely and very cosy. If you are looking for a sleek and shiny Paris experience, this is not the apartment for you. However, if you enjoy a more personal place to stay, complete with art and unique, slightly bohemian styling, this is the place for you. The apartment is on the ground floor with a courtyard entry -- super handy for us, as we were on a long trip and had a lot of luggage. It sleeps 4 comfortably and our kids loved the downstairs "cave room" as they called it. Note, it's not at all like a cave, but the step down into the room made it feel very cost. The upstairs sleeping area is lovely, with its full-length frosted windows, and we found the bed very comfortable. The kitchen and bathroom are both small but this is to be expected in an old, character-filled building in such a sought-after area, close to wonderful cafes, restaurants and shops. Salomé very kindly left us some coffee pods for use with her machine and we were pleased to be able to make coffee on our first morning, after arriving late the night before. It's important to note the apartment doesn't have a washing machine, but there are a number of laundromats nearby. Wonderful proximity to both Republique and Temple Metro stations. If you have small children, don't miss the beautiful park and playground on the way to Temple station, dedicated to the Jewish children who were killed in the Holocaust. Thanks to Salomé for giving us a great first experience with airbnb. We highly recommend her charming and cosy apartment.
