This place is awesome, and if the other reviews haven’t convinced you please continue reading this. So this is our 5th time to Paris, within about 5 years. We come nearly every year for work and pleasure. I usually book Airbnb to get a more Parisian experience. As many travelers are like me, non-French speaker, Paris can be tricky at times. But Aurelia is the best host. She’s super quick with responses and has prepared everything you need for your trip.
She has prepared even instructions, in English, on how to use the washing machine/dryer, heating and cooling systems, dish washer.
She has also prepared a list of recommendations of restaurants and sights to see nearby.
If you don’t know Paris, here is some important advice, more than anything (like all big cities) it’s all about location, location, location. Paris is divided into districts or ‘arrondissement’. For most of the popular sights it’s Arrondissement 1 to 8. Once you get to the very outer districts, in my opinion, it becomes a bit sketchy and sometimes you feel a bit unsafe, as you can see refugee tents and very run down neighborhoods. So rest assured, this place is super safe, and pretty much in the heart and center of Paris. You got plenty of cafes, restaurants, and bars near you. I thought it was super awesome that you have a supermarket right below the apartment on the G floor. Also you’re literally walking distance to the Lourve and all the shopping around it. Another nice shopping area is the Marais... it’s a bit further of a walk but if you really want to experience Paris, either walk or take the metro. Paris traffic is not something you want to be stuck in. Another plus, for those interested, the apartment is really close to the Japanese district with all the Japanese restaurants, udon, ramen, supermarkets, etc so you can get your foodie game on!
So as a summarize. Out of all the bookings I’ve done and hotels I’ve stayed in Paris this is seriously hands down the best. Of course it’s not the cheapest but for the location and convenience I can’t stress more how great of a value this listing is. And having a great and responsive host is a super plus always!!
