We are so glad we found this place! Sebastian was very responsive by text and Airbnb messaging, both before and during our stay. He was accommodating to our travel plans, provided advice about getting around town, and never left us waiting long for an answer.

The kitchen was stocked with a few staples to get us through our first day, and he gave us a some good ideas for shopping and dining in the neighborhood. Take his advice on Chez Gladines - that place is magic.

The Corvisart metro station (line 6) is literally across the street from the apartment. That is obviously very convenient, and with the 5 and 7 from Place d'Italie (down the road a bit) you can easily get to where you want to go. Corvisart was closed during our stay for renovations, but will be open later this summer.

The neighborhood was great; more residential than touristy, which makes a good base away from all the crowds. Butte Aux Cailles is wonderful. The businesses are geared towards locals, not tourists, which meant the value was great and the environment much more pleasant than in the commercial districts.

The street market he mentions in the description is really charming and useful. We got some cheese and saucisson, but the vegetables and meat looked great as well. It's right outside the window of the apartment, so definitely take advantage of it!

The apartment itself is just as described. Comfy bed, fully functional little kitchen, wifi, etc. Best of all is the washing machine! So useful.

If you want to experience a little slice of living in Paris instead of just seeing the inside of hotels and museums, I can't recommend Sebastian's apartment highly enough. Thanks Sebastian!
