Let me start by saying I am a Super Host myself and an Airbnb host for 6 years. Let me also say this is my third time in Paris. I studied at the Sorbonne here for a summer in college and lived here for a month as a kid. I do speak proficient French and it was coming back to me on my visit. My point is I'm coming at this review as someone who has a decent understanding of Parisian culture, history, and pleasantries. But as a host, I tend to look at things with a more discerning eye because of the role I play at home... Marc's place is stylish and on the top floor of a quintessentially Parisian flat. The kitchen is small, and pretty much all Ikea, but it is well designed and organized with everything you would need. The living room is spacious with operable doors that open up to the balcony. The flat does get hot at night (we were here in June, 2018) so we kept the windows open to cool down. The elevator up to the flat is comedically tiny. Typical of many flats in Paris, but you can realistically fit two normal size people (read: not middle American sized people) in here at a time. If you have a lot of luggage, you'll need a few trips up/down. This is not a reflection on Marc or his flat, but a good FYI. Location wise, the flat is close to restaurants, patisseries, and shops. Its about a 30 minute walk to the Place de la Concorde and the Seine. We walked everywhere averaging 20-30K steps a day (8-12 miles). Communication with Marc was fine and we didn't really have any major needs or questions. He did let us check out a little later so we didn't have to worry about where to put our luggage on the last day. The floors are wood but they do creak. One of the bathrooms was out of service with signs saying so. There were 3 adults and 3 kids in our group so do the math. Not an ideal situation. I want to be clear that we didn't spend a lot of time in the flat. We're here to see Paris. But one bathroom was a bit of a disappointment for the time in the morning where we're all getting ready to go out). The bed in the largest room isn't as comfortable as it looks. It's an odd mattress that didn't feel right. It was uncomfortable. You can't please everyone with the same mattress, but this one was simply either cheaply made, old, or perhaps both. The mattresses in the other rooms were apparently pretty comfortable. There is no air conditioning so if you are here in the summer, you'll want to open the French doors/windows to let in the cool air. The shower in the largest room has great pressure, but the layout of the tiny shower only bathroom is such that to...
