Simon's place is absolutely amazing! It is a newly and beautifully renovated apartment. Size wise, it's rather spacious for Parisian apartment, I guess, but it's so well planned, he used every possible tiny space and made the apartment very practical and comfortable. It's also very charmingly decorated, with many plants and some botanical themed ornaments in the living room. The apartment is bright with many windows and get nice air through. Although it's on the lively street, it's very quiet at night, because it's facing the courtyard. The bathroom is roomy, with its high ceiling and nice lighting from the top. The hot water came out immediately. Modern well equipped kitchen with window, nice glass window between bedroom and entrance, nice flooring... I cannot tell enough good things about this apartment! It was so inspiring and we couldn't stop admiring every details he made. The location was good for us, many supermarkets around, walking distance to Marais, and many nice restaurants and bars on Rue Oberkampf and small streets towards Saint Louis Hospital. We are a couple with a 7 month baby and on arrival in the evening, the area felt a bit rough, but after walking and exploring the area a bit, we felt safe. We didn't meet Simon personally, but he arranged his friend to meet and look after us while we were staying and his friend was very friendly and kind to answer all my questions very quickly. We were a bit late for the check in, but he welcomed us with a smile and let us stay until afternoon when we checked out. It is a perfect apartment for a couple and would definitely recommend anyone who wants to have a great stay in Paris! Thank you, Simon!
