This was a once-in-a-lifetime trip for me and my wife. We loved the flat. It was conveniently located in a great part of town. It was accessible, warm, quaint, safe, well-stocked, and clean.

We were impressed with Emmanuel's preparation and the information he provided. He had a book full of information with maps, restaurant suggestions, museum info, house rules, and check-in/check-out expectations. He met with us the first day and showed us around the flat, taught us how to work things like the washer, etc. We were very jet-lagged, but he was very understanding.

We loved having a table, kitchen, and clothes washer. We ate a few meals there.

The location was great. There were a few metro stations, an awesome bakery, pharmacy, and grocery stores very close-by. The neighborhood was great for shopping as well. The Picasso museum is within walking distance and the Carnavalet museum is actually right across the street (although it was closed for renovations).

Sleeping at night requires earplugs or someone who is used to street noise because it is an urban area with all the sounds you would expect from an urban area (sirens, motorcycles, yelling/talking, etc). But, we acclimated just fine and were happy we brought earplugs.

Emmanuel communicated with us during our stay on several occasions to tell us about things and ask about our check-out plans. He met with us the night before we left to go over expectations.

Overall it was a great experience and we are SO glad we booked with Airbnb and found this flat. If we ever return to Paris, we would definitely book here again. Highly recommended!
