Honestly, Airbnb is total shit. Honestly, you can get better and cheaper hotel/apparhotel deal that are clean (imagine that!) than a decent Airbnb these days.

Three nights in Paris hotel 4 star in Neuilly: €200. Airbnb €400 in someone's attic. Checked it a few weeks ago. FACT

Kindle I like: Reading French novels is useful as has a good dictionary on tap. Apart from that, always books.
