Summary: 100% the best Airbnb I have ever stayed at. THE BEST IN PARIS!! We really lucked out with this VIEW. It made our whole trip! Forget about the Pullman and the Shangri La hotels. Book this place! I couldn’t imagine the whole experience getting any better. We took so many pictures on our two balconies. We were so sad to leave. The place is SPACIOUS! Please be aware there is NO A/C unit in the apartment! Lastly, thank goodness for the lift (Max 2 people)!
Checkin
SO easy to checkin early. We met with Fatima for the apartment key and settled in immediately. Checkin was a total of 5-10 minutes! Patrick gave us the key codes ahead of time so we didn’t have a problem getting into the building.
Safety
I had my hesitations but this neighborhood was very secure! We felt comfortable walking by ourselves at night. There’s plenty of security cameras in the neighborhood and the apartment is fully secured with 2 entrances that require passcode prior to entering!
Location
About a 10-12 minute walk to the metro. After a long day of walking all over the city of Paris .. I definitely wished it was closer LOL! There’s a mini mart for groceries on Suffren. A boulagerie for breakfast (3min) and make sure to try the little Italian place called “Firmie” (spelling?) (5min) it was great! And the Iron Lady is LITERALLY right out the window!! (5 min walk!) We could NOT believe the view. It’s really better than the pictures he has on the listing!! 😭
Communication
Patrick and Fatima were perfect!! I had all the answers when I needed them and we talked through Airbnb messages.
Check out
Check out was nothing at all! We left the keys on the diving table and left right after!
Laundry
The washer/dryer came with a manual .. and we definitely had to read it. The dryer takes a long time to dry clothes so just be prepared to wait a while for an entire load to finish.
Kitchen
Had everything we needed! But one story - so.. I bought cheese for a picnic later in the week only to find out that the refrigerator doesn’t really work. Needless to say, the fridge .... SMELLED. BAD. I had to throw it out so just a heads up! Don’t buy cheese for the fridge 😂
Bathroom
The water pressure in the bathroom was DIVINE after a long day! Not only that, the water got SUPER hot and I loved it! We all loved it! The hair dryer is also decent. It gets really hot so try not to burn your hair off.
Bedrooms
The beds were ok. The linens were clean! There’s a window in both of the rooms in case it gets too hot. There’s also 2 fans (1 that’s timed for 120 minutes and 1 that runs all night).
