Jean’s place has been the best Airbnb experience that I’ve had so far in Paris, and I would definitely recommend it to any traveller intending to make the best of his or her journey in Paris.
As a host, Jean is considerate, hospitable, helpful and quick at replying. Since he would be on vacation when we arrive, he had arranged all the details of the checking-in with his mother and had asked her to welcome us - which was surely one of my best memories in 2018. He also kindly stored a bottle of milk and a bottle of orange juice in the fridge, and prepared some waffles and chocolates on the table as a welcoming present for us, since we arrived right after Christmas. I was so touched by this warm welcome, and I do believe that, regardless of the Christmas gifts (which wouldn’t be for the whole year), meeting Jean in person would already be a great experience.
The apartment is itself a perfect place to live: really fully equipped and capable to fulfil all your needs, from laundry to dining on the balcony; perfectly situated close to la Bastille, with two metro stations within 5 minutes’ walk and plenty of bistrots, restaurants, brasseries and supermarkets in the neighbourhood (even two cinemas, at least two pharmacies and one McDonald). Besides the bed and the sofa that offer great comfort every night, you can also store your own stuff on the shelf specially prepared for you. You can even invite friends, since the table is big enough to cater six people. The whole apartment is spacious, beauteous and delicately decorated - in short, this is the dream house that I would personally choose again if possible next time if I come to Paris.
