Bogdan and Otilia were unbelievable hosts. They were out of the country during our arrival, but they arranged for a friend to meet us at the apartment and give us the keys. Even though our flight was delayed by an hour, their friend was incredibly kind and accommodating. The apartment was absolutely perfect and had everything you would need for a stay in Paris. It was incredibly clean and very bright. This is a beautiful apartment. Bogdan and Otilia had left a lovely bottle of wine on the table, as well as some metro maps and a map of some gems in the neightborhood. Rue Oberkampf and the surrounding area is a really great neighborhood with LOTS of great bars, cafes and restaurants (check out Bespoke for good cocktails, Cafe Oberkampf for good coffee and simple breakfast and Big Mamma for delicious italian food). It is also half a block from the Oberkampf metro station or a 5 minute walk to the Republique metro station, which will get you around the city rather quickly. You will be SO happy you stayed in this apartment while you embrace all Paris has to offer.
