If you have read our ‘Paris: local and budget’ article, you also know that we’ve stayed in an Airbnb apartment which was so nice we could have lived there.
Situated between the Marais and Bastille, just a stone’s throw away from the philantropic warehouse of coolness, Merci, it was the ideal setting for a weekend away and capture the local vibe in Paris.
For those who are not familiar with the Airbnb concept, here’s a quick introduction:
Airbnb is the worldwide succesful online marketplace to rent the residence of a local in any country and city you’d like to visit. Or the other way around, you can let your residence to travelers who want to experience ‘how to live like a local’ during their stay. It is a very nice alternative for a hotel.
The service was founded in 2008 in San Francisco, California, and offers places to stay in 192 countries, in over 34.000 cities in the world, and still growing.
