It was an unexpected change of plans that led us to Andres door mid month this May. My daughter and I spend 10 days at Andres apartment and our initial misfortune became our great good luck. The neighbourhood, the apartment itself, but most remarkable the host. It was everything a duo could want for a stay in Paris. Beside, of course, the magical city itself. Andres’ communication before, during, and after our stay was timely and always helpful. He provided us with some suggestions before our trip, a lovely gesture as we were able to do a bit of research in advance. He was immediately available to answer any questions we may have had during our stay and also offered fun suggestions to cap off our stay nearing the end. In between, he made it a point to check in to see if we were enjoying our stay. Further, he contacted us prior to our stay to ascertain our preferences for a few days breakfast. When we arrived there was muesli, granola, a lovely bordeaux and organic milks and fruits. Above and beyond any airbnb gesture I've enjoyed previously. Very important to me is cleanliness and Andres’ home was spotless. And on a final note, there has been mention of the staircase (which will be renovated in the fall), I’m not sure the concern from previous reviews. I found them simple to navigate with suitcases and its aesthetic reminded me of Paris past (Note, I'm 61). Don’t be deterred by this component. If you are you’ll miss a truly lovely Parisian neighbourhood, with a fantastic vibe. Boulangeries et patisseries pres de l’appartment, tres amusante cafes et restaurantes. And a spot on fromagerie around the corner, Chez Virginie on Damremont. And, naturally, you’ll want Andres’s home for a return visit, if available. Thank you, Andres for your hospitality and kindnesses and ultimately for sharing your home.
