Here's the full review and in detail what happened. First off, 5 STARS. No question about the host and his crew. They are hard working, excellent communicators who did everything they possibly could to make the best out of what could have been a really difficult situation. (4 adults and 3 small children)
1. The place is excellent. Close to metro station, lots of shops, quiet and just as described.
2. The neighborhood is walking to distance to lots of things. Don't view this location as what you would expect from a St. Germaine or Les Halles or Le Marais. Those are older neighborhoods with the hustle and bustle of a highly trafficked area. This neighborhood is less tourist, more people going to and from work. Although, just a short walk away are plenty of restaurants.
3. BED BUGs. The first night, in just one of the rooms, we found bed bugs. Not a full on infestation, but enough for one of us to have half a dozen bites or so. Thankfully, it was contained in one room. The hosts were on it right away! They did their best to move us into any one of their 19 properties. VERY ACCOMMODATING!!! I would not hesitate to book anything these guys host. The bed bugs, although unfortunate, were not the fault of the hosts. It just happens. I get it. The 5 stars are based on their response to the situation.
4. I also contacted AirBNB who, based on their policy, does not allow guests to stay at another AirBNB in case of bed bugs. (I get it, they don't want to compromise their other sites and have a domino effect). Instead, they reimbursed me and gave me a small reimbrusement for the hotel we ended up having to move to.
5. All in all, bed bugs suck. Moving twice was less than ideal. But hey, Paris is magical and we had a wonderful time!
