we went to Paris in June and I booked an AirBnB on a houseboat on the Seine. It was amazing. Large enough to have 4-5 people. It was just the two of us. Full kitchen, AC, quiet even at the base of the Eiffel Tower. Even a little deck on the boat for a causal dining. Incredible location. Close to Metro and buses, restaurants,

Do you have the name of the place or the Airbnb number? Also, if you don't mind my asking, what was the cost for 2 people?

Yes, It was very COOL indeed!! And YES... that is the houseboat that we stayed on that you found on AirBnb. My review is there under Katherine. I'd highly recommend it. Just get ready to sway with the water a little. "sea legs" and be ready to go up and down the step ladder which made it interesting indeed. The owner can be hard to get a response from through AirBnb when initially setting up your stay. And she has rather rigid check in times which really was a pain for us after arriving very early in the morning and needing a nap and a place to unload our luggage. Overall it was so memorable!!
