Pierre was an amazing host. He was incredibly gracious and helpful, and stayed in contact with us prior to and during our stay. There was a nice welcome note waiting for us when we arrived, along with a bottle of homemade apple juice and a jar of homemade honey! Pierre went out of his way to make sure that everything went well for us and he even left a collection of terrific maps and guidebooks for our use. The apartment is spacious, sunny and comfortable, with wonderful views of Montparnasse, and is decorated with lovely antique furniture and art work. The bedroom is very quiet with floor to ceiling windows, electric shades and a comfy, real double bed where you can get a good night’s sleep. The apartment is larger than can be seen in the photos and the photos and apartment description are accurate. The building is secure and well maintained and the small elevator is a blessing. The neighborhood is safe and extremely convenient, with plenty of restaurants, cafes, bakeries, outdoor food markets, grocery stores, clothing and specialty shops, pharmacies and easy metro access. The apartment is ideal for two adults or two adults and a child. Although there is no computer, the WiFi worked great on our mobile phone. There is no clothes dryer, but we air-dried our clothes on the terrace and also used a nice laundromat across the street. This was our first Airbnb experience, and Pierre made it one of our most memorable Paris vacations. We highly recommend this host and his wonderful apartment.
