We stayed at Damien’s apartment for 9 nights.
Damien uses a locker-box system to pick up and drop off the keys, this was good in that we weren’t keeping anyone waiting for our arrival but it did mean finding a location about half a mile away and picking them up and then finding another different location to drop off, this all went smoothly.
The flat is within 10 minutes walk of several Metro stations. It’s well situated- right next to the vibrant canal area surrounded by many cafes, which extents all the way up to the science park which held free outdoor cinema screenings most nights we were there; it’s also within walking distance of Montmartre. The views from this top floor apartment are really good- you can see the Eiffel Tower in the distance and the Sacre Coeur on the hill and the tree-lined canal to the other side, it was a real pleasure to sit on the balcony and eat or drink.
One thing to note is that getting to the flat involves climbing 6 flights of stairs as there is no lift, this was challenging in the 42 degree heat of several of the days, but we all feel fitter for doing it.
Damien’s kitchen is small but has pretty much anything you will need to cook meals with, there’s also a washing machine which was handy.
We really enjoyed staying at Damien’s apartment and would recommend it to couples or small families, the location next to the canal was really nice.
