Stephan and Marina are perfect hosts. This was our first AirBnB experience and we arrived stressed and jet lagged in Paris. Marina greeted us with a smile a bottle of Champagne and a bright breezy little apartment. There were directions to attractions and good food as well as all the essentials for our stay. The flat was exactly as described and perfectly situated for our needs. The vicinity was lively, central and safe. On departure Stephan assisted us with our travel needs even going as far as to negotiate a taxi to the station. This experience affirmed why one would choose this service over a hotel. We are already planning a return trip and will certainly try to book with Steph and Marina again.
