'Couldn't have been better' about sums up our six day stay in Odile's apartment. We were welcomed with fresh baguette, butter & jams, and the instructions Odile gave us for entry were concise and clear. Sadly, we didn't meet, but spoke on the phone and she was fantastically helpful about liaising with the next guests to allow us to leave our bags in the flat till the afternoon we left. The flat itself is beautiful - immaculate, comfortable and perfect in every way. The internet worked (very important), the beds were good, and the light, airy atmosphere was great for me and my daughter to work and study in before the rest of the family arrived. There are great places to eat nearby (one almost on the doorstep), a boulangerie underneath (try the brioche au chocolat), and a Monoprix supermarket a few yards away. Almost everywhere in Central Paris is within easy walking distance, and if not, then the metro Monceau is just across the park. Honestly, we were all stunned by just how brilliant this airbnb idea is. We will never stay in a hotel again, and we will DEFINITELY come back and stay with Odile again as soon as we possibly can (if she'll have us). Top marks, 10/10, gold stars all round. Our only disappointment was that our Northampton Saints rugby team (who we had come to support in the European cup against Paris Racing Metro) lost their game!
