My family and I stayed for a week in Paris. This was my first time booking with Airbnb and after reading reviews from locations across the city I expected some hassle along the way. That is not what happened and the entire experience was fantastic. We booked this place for it’s location and positive reviews.
We arrived on a Friday afternoon and needed to meet Ines for checkin. She set us up with a time and a host to show us the place. The host was right on time and she gave us all the information we needed to stay the week. This included simple things like how to recycle trash, open/close metal blinds, use of dishwasher and laundry machine. As we walked through the apartment, it was even better than the online description gives it credit for. There was plenty of space and the beds were comfortable. The bathrooms have been totally remodeled and were very comfortable. This included fresh towels and towel warmer. Ines called us right after we checked in and gave us even more information and offered herself to be available if we had any questions. We had everything we needed and didn’t need to touch base again until checkout time.
The things we appreciated most were the cleanliness, location, the beautiful decor and built in security. The entire place was incredibly clean. Nothing was out of place and the entire trip was super comfortable. The apartment is well updated and kept in very good condition. Location was important to us but we weren’t really tied down to any single area. The apartment is located very close to the Metro so it was easy to get around. There was a fantastic farmers market open Saturday and Wednesday just a block over. The apartment is beautiful. It’s a first floor home in an amazing upscale building. We were impressed with the secured doors in and out of the apartment. There were two locking doors before even getting to the apartment door. All doors are huge solid wood. The door to the apartment and a locking bar that secures it at top and bottom with several dead bolts up and down the door. No one gets through that door without the right key. There are two glass windows for every window along with locking metal blinds that secure the outside. We felt very safe.
It was wonderful having reliable wifi. At the end of a long day of site seeing, it was great to go back to a beautiful apartment to relax in. We needed to checkout at 7am to catch a train and it was quick and easy. Knowing want we know now, we would happily book the apartment all over again (and next time too). We were so thankful to Ines for sharing her wonderful place with us and being a fantastic and thoughtful host.
