I had a lovely stay at Fabio's apartment. The place is in a good location in a nice neighbourhood where I felt safe and at home. Walking distance from metro stations and even Gare du Nord is only 15 mins away by foot. There is a supermarket right around the corner and lots of other stores, a market and bars, restaurants and bakeries all right outside the door. The apartment is very clean and nice and spacious, especially for it being in Paris. It was bigger than I had expected. The apartment has beautiful wooden floors and big windows - it's nice and light. The kitchen has everything you need. The living room has no couch but it has a table and chairs and it was a perfect place for me to do some work. The bed is very comfortable and there are plenty of pillows. I was there in the middle of summer and it was very hot in Paris, but because the apartment is not on the top floor it didn't get all too warm in there. The windows open, but in the evening the restaurant/bar downstairs has a people sitting out on the terras so that can get a little noisy, but this quiets down later in the evening, so it wasn't a problem at all for me. Fabio responds to messages very quickly and is kind, welcoming and flexible. He was there to meet me and show me around the apartment, even though I arrived quite late. And he was also there when I checked out.
