This was our first airbnb experience although we have done a considerable amount of traveling, staying mostly in private rental homes and condos. We began our vacation in Paris greeted warmly by Gary at his lovely apartment. He was very nice to meet us with no complaints about our late check in due to our flights. The first floor walk-up was perfect for us, easy to find for the taxi, convenient to the Metro, and right in the center of St Germain.

We spent two weeks there and found Paris highlights (for us that meant art museums!) very walkable from the apartment and travel on the Metro or by cab easy if we needed to go far. The bed was adequately comfortable in spite of being a pullout, and the bathroom shower good with plenty of hot water. The kitchen was fairly convenient for cooking with nice tableware, and had a Nespresso machine for our morning coffee. There were some nice windows giving the apartment cheery light and they were fun to have open (when it wasn't raining) for people watching.

The apartment could be a little noisy at night as there was a neighborhood bar beneath, but that usually quieted down at closing. We had a few small glitches which Gary fixed immediately. In fact, Gary was one of the best hosts we have ever had!

I would definitely recommend Gary's apartment and would stay there again in the future!
