We had a wonderful stay at Anne-Sophie’s magnifique apartment. I highly recommend it.
The apartment:
Very recently remodeled with new finishes. The apartment itself is tastefully decorated and pleasant. Anne-Sophie has clearly taken pride in constructing an apartment that’s comfortable and uses the space efficiently. The brand-new washer and dryer were welcome for several loads of laundry after a week+ of touring. There are also thoughtful touches like a Bluetooth speaker built into the shower and a good closet system downstairs. While the apartment is smaller and the shower has limited privacy from the bedroom, it was still a very pleasant stay for four adults (two in downstairs bed, two in pullout sofa) and would be ideal for a couple or a family with children. Overall the space is top-notch.
The location:
Excellent! Super close to a metro stop just across the street which made getting around the city easy. We enjoyed dining and drinks in the Place de la Contrescarpe just a few blocks away—a bustling plaza with many restaurants and a few streets full of bars adjoining. Definitely worth checking it out during your stay, it was lively and really fun.
The host:
Anne-Sophie was lovely and an excellent host. She was communicative and clear on plans, and we appreciated her flexibility in finding a mutually agreeable check-in time. She was also quite thoughtful—we appreciated her gesture of leaving us some chilled water in the refrigerator on arrival as it was quite hot in Paris when we arrived. Thanks again!
Overall an excellent experience, as good as it gets on Airbnb :) hope to stay again when I’m next in Paris!
