My son and I spent three delightful days (not long enough!) at Sylvie and Max's charming Rue de Rivoli apartment. I know Paris well and I can say that this location is superb for conveniently visiting the city. A metro stop is steps away, you can easily walk to multiple major points of interest...the two islands, the amazing 4th arrondissement sites, the Latin Qtr, Samaritaine dept store, the Seine and much more. But, what I appreciate most about this Airbnb is the hosts. As other guests indicate in their reviews, Max and Sylvie take extraordinary care to ensure that your stay will be as comfortable and fulfilling as possible. They are super responsive to guest messages and so accommodating. They made check-in and check-out extremely convenient for us, allowing us to make the most of our last hours in the wonderful neighborhood. However, they entirely respect your privacy and independence...the best of both worlds.
Some of the thoughtful touches you will find at the apartment...high-end chocolates and champagne as welcome gifts (wow!), plenty of fresh snacks in the kitchen (fresh milk, juice, jam, cereal, crackers and more) and plenty of Nespresso capsules, ample quality dishes and flatware and kitchen supplies, guide books, maps and personal recommendations, 3 umbrellas for your use, extra blankets and towels, excellent bedding and pillows and more. Everything is in excellent working order and super clean. Honestly, I miss being their guest! Their level of hospitality is truly exceptional and I say this as someone who has happily stayed in at least 2 dozen Airbnbs around the world. My son and I leave with the happiest of memories from our time at Sylvie and Max's. We are forever grateful and certainly hope to return.
