It was my first stay with airbnb and I must say I am more than pleased. Ovad is a really nice guy. His place is tiny, true, but it has all you need and it is very near to everything (you can walk from Gare de l'Est in 5 min., Marais with all it's restaurants is also in walking distance). We stayed there with our daughter and we had enough room for us three. It was clean with a well equipped kitchen. If you have a lot of luggage, remember that it is on the top floor and there is no lift, but the view out of the windows compensates for this.

I've been to Paris many time for business trips and slept in "hotels" that were much more expensive but a lot less clean and comfortable and I will for sure try to book a place like this in the future.
