Richie was an amazing host! He sent me extremely detailed directions before departing for Paris and greeted me at the apartment. He shared all his knowledge of the neighborhood and of the city. I moved to Paris as a student and Richie was extremely helpful answering any questions I had regarding paperwork and receiving packages. He was an exceptional host. The apartment is very spacious especially for anything you'll find in Paris! The view of the canal every morning is so calming and serene. There is a great cafe next door serving amazing pizza and drinks. As well as other restaurants and bars within walking distance. There is a market and pharmacy literally behind the building and you can take a short cut through the great courtyard. There are two main metros within walking distance and a main boulevard less than 10 min walking. All of my neighbors have been extremely friendly yet it is still a quite and tranquil building. As a female traveler I felt very safe in this area and in the building. If your luckily enough to find this gem available don't hesitate to book. Overall I felt blessed to have found this Airbnb and have Richie as a host!
