Paris Accommodation: A Malaysian Traveller's Review
A Heartwarming Parisian Stay
I don't usually write reviews about my holiday accommodations, but this place in Paris was special! The host was incredibly lovely, and the apartment felt so warm and welcoming, I just had to share my experience for any Malaysian travellers planning a short trip to Paris.
Initially, a Christmas trip to France wasn't even on my radar. I didn't have any plans for the 24th, 25th, or 26th of December. Then, one sunny day, I decided to look for hotels for my family, but most were fully booked. Feeling a bit lost, I remembered to check for Vietnamese hosts in France. After browsing reviews and photos, I messaged a few highly-rated hosts. While responses were generally quick, the communication with May Bui stood out.
After a quick exchange, I decided to book with her.
Location, Location, Location
- Metro station: Just a short 400m walk away.
- Central Paris: Only 3 metro stops (around 4 minutes). This made getting to famous Parisian spots for photo opportunities super easy (about 20-25 minutes).
Since we had a car, getting to the city centre was also quick and convenient.
- Convenience: Right downstairs, there's a Carrefour Express and Auchan. Asian, Italian, French, and Japanese restaurants, plus a pharmacy, are all within 500m.
- Parking: There's parking right in front of the building (a definite 10/10!).
Comfort and Cleanliness
The apartment was clean and tidy, with all the amenities you could need. Stepping inside felt like visiting a friend's place – there were even Vietnamese essentials like rice and coffee! Since it was a short trip, we mostly ate out, so didn't do any cooking at the apartment.
Outstanding Host Support
The best part was the host's incredible support. She planned our itinerary, recommending great places to eat and see in the 13th arrondissement. They were delicious and affordable!
Thank you to the host for making our short break in Paris so enjoyable! If I ever return to Paris, I will definitely book with them again.
