As this was my first time trying Airbnb, I am certainly now an advocate. Stephanie was prompt in her replies and accurately described her beautiful, well located apartment. The neighbourhood felt safe and was close to the metro. The facilities provided were everything you would expect of a hotel and more - reliable WiFi, tea/coffee in your room, lots of storage space for clothes, washing machine and kitchen. What made all the difference was Stephanie - she was very welcoming and was happy to provide suggestions about the area and made me feel more at ease about being in Paris by myself. I would definitely stay with Stephanie again if I am back in Paris in the future. Thank you :)
