We went to Paris for a wedding in Southern France and while parts of our trip was difficult, our AirBNB rental was our saving grace. It was comfortable, quiet, safe & close to everything. The apartment is much nicer and than how it's described and photos online.
It's situated inside a private courtyard/pathway with exits on either end with a secured lock. The inside of the courtyard is beautiful and peaceful. The apartment is clean and also very nice/clean. Everything you need are there and if not, the stores were just a few blocks away. It's only steps away from all the food, shops, metro, ATM machines (DAP).
It is not far from the Seine River and you can walk to Notre Dame and Saint Chapelle. With my limited-to-none French, if you are kind and polite, so are the locals. There are so many shops and cafe/restaurants to choose from - it was easy to get meals, tons of street vendors, so many cafes and restaurants.
We did not have the time to get to see everything on my list, so next time, we might have to return and I would definitely look to rent from Carolyn!!!
