We stayed at Quentin's apartment for 3 nights in June 2016. A couple of days before our arrival, he notified us that he would not be there for the duration of our stay. He set it up so that a cleaning lady would be there when we arrived to give us the key, which worked perfectly. It's a small apartment but very clean! We spent most of our time exploring Paris, not in the apartment, so it served our needs well. The apartment is located near many restaurants and pubs, and is less than 2 minutes walk away from the metro station Parmentier, which is probably the greatest perk, making it very easy to get around the city! (PS for those new to exploring Paris, get the app "Paris Metro", it was a life-saver helping us navigate the metro system and telling us which stations to get on/off at to reach our destination) As mentioned in other reviews, the apartment is on the 4th floor via stairs so I imagine that could be difficult for those with heavy luggage. We never did meet Quentin but he was very helpful in making it work while he was away and also spoke good English, which was great for us. All in all a nice apartment in a fantastic location!
