Nathalie's apartment is fabulous! It looks exactly like the pictures but is even better in person! It's a secure building and the apartment is very clean and spacious, with 3 big floor to ceiling windows that overlook the small park and a fairly busy street. When the windows are open, a nice breeze comes in, and when they're shut all the city/street noise is canceled out. My husband and I stayed there for 8 nights and had a wonderful time. The location is great - not touristy, Monoprix a block away to buy groceries/wine/essentials, great local restaurants nearby (Pramil, Ob La Di, Inaro, Mmmozza, were favorites), very close to public transportation (2 metros are within 2-3 blocks, and multiple Velib bike stations), very walkable to the Seine and Canal Saint Martin. It got a little warm at night with the windows closed but there was a portable AC unit and it did hit 90 degrees while we were there. Nathalie's daughter met us when we arrived and showed us around the apartment. Nathalie was communicative and checked in with us during the week via AirBnb message to see how things were going and then was there when we left and let us take our time packing up. The wifi worked great throughout the week, and Nathalie had some maps and recommendations laid out for us. It was a terrific first AirBnb experience for us, and I would highly recommend staying here!
