No accommodation can be perfect. If the location is perfect, the rooms might be small. If the price is fantastic, the place will be on the fifth floor without a lift… .Airbnb guests need to choose the parameters that are most important for them which would render their stay a success.
My husband and I have come to Paris for 5 days to celebrate our 25th anniversary. Our number one concern was to find a place in a central location that would allow us to walk everywhere, which will have easy access to the metro and enjoy a lively night scene but still feel safe to walk home late at night. The location has exceeded our every expectation. The metro is on your doorstep, main city centre attractions (Pompidou centre, hotel de Ville, Notre dame, place de la Republique…) are a short walking distance away. “Le Marais” is a neighbourhood that never sleeps. It’s colourful, full of markets and shops, bistrots and bars. We came home at all hours of the night and never felt a moment of concern.
Our second concern when staying at someone’s house is the quality of sleep. India invested in quality mattresses, pillows and covers. We slept like babies! The room is completely isolated, so no noise comes in from the street.
The shower was wonderfully luxurious, and we’ve never experienced any discomfort for the fact it was shared.
“Bedroom in haut marais” is a charming old apartment which was lovingly restored by keeping its original charm.
The best part about this stay was hands down – its host. India fits perfectly in her surroundings, she’s wonderfully quirky, intelligent, original and creative. She will give you all the space and privacy you need and be a great friend to hang around with and get information from. She has generously given us advice, help and her friendship and made our trip all the more memorable.
This apartment listing honestly describes the advantages and disadvantages of the place, if you take the time to read it carefully, you’ll have a perfect idea of what you’ll be getting, with no surprises.
I’ve been to Paris many times before and have always stayed with Airbnb people, this has been my best experience so far! Thank you India, be definitely seeing you next time I’m in town.
