Marie's apartment is the first Airbnb that we've stayed in that was an actual home to the host. Every other one we have had was simply an additional property for the hosts. That said, this was one of the most charming homes I've ever been at in a big city like Paris.
Marie was very good at communicating leading up to our stay and because she was going to be gone when we checked in, she hired a lovely Bnbsitter, Hannah, who was very detailed and thorough in explaining the property details and little secrets of things like properly locking/unlocking the front door.
The location right by Gare du Nord (and less than a 2 min walk from the exit of La Chapelle Metro station) made it insanely convenient!
Very secure building and apartment. We just ADORED the very Parisian look and feel of the building and the apartment itself! Would stay there again in a heartbeat!!
