Our family stayed in this apartment for one month and we can not say enough good things about the experience. Christoph, our host communicated with throughout the reservation process and our stay and was always responsive and helpful. His friend Joel met us when we checked-in, showed us all the features of the apartment then walked us around the neighborhood and helped us buy our Navigo pass (for the metro, bus, train, RER). This pass was a game changer in regards to getting around Paris and outlying areas and made getting places incredibly simple and inexpensive.
The apartment was incredibly clean and comfortable. It is located a couple hundred meters from the #3 metro line and bus lines. The neighborhood is not touristy and has great affordable restaurants and bars as well as a grocery store, boucherie, multiple boulangeries and a fromagerie very close by. On Wednesdays and Saturdays there is an incredible open air market that opens and lines the sidewalks of the town. We shopped locally and ate very well.
The kitchen was well appointed with plenty of dishes, utensils, serving dishes and cookware. When we arrived they had left us with a bottle of champagne, some beer, cheese, sandwich meat, coffee, and other items to get us started on our stay.
We loved our trip, were sad to leave and would rent this apartment from Christoph again without hesitation. He and Joel made a wonderful trip even more special for our whole family.
