This is a little gem of a place to stay! It was my very first Airbnb experience, and it was lovely. The room was very large, the apartment was impeccably clean, the hostess Catherine did everything to make my 4-night stay in Paris lovely. Although she doesn't speak much English, and I hardly speak any French, we were nonetheless able to communicate effectively. One caveat: although there IS an elevator in the building, it is NOT at all handicap accessible, as there is a half flight of stairs to get to the elevator, and then another half flight of stairs once you get off the elevator. The Metro train was only about a block away, making it a very convenient option for seeing all of the Paris sights. The neighborhood seems very safe, with children playing, etc. I would definitely recommend Catherine and stay in her apartment again!
