Pierre’s place was amazing.
Location: It’s at the Latin quarter and the metro entrance is literally just across the road (stairs only though, the other one with escalators + stairs is about a few hundred metres away, still very near), hence super accessible to everywhere. There is also another metro line 3 min walk away so it is super convenient. There are restaurants and shops just a street behind which is famous for their crepes and weekend markets, and around the nearest metro there’s also a market that opens a few times a week. It is quiet and we don’t hear much road noise or the neighbours except the occasionally thumping as people walk up the stairs.
The building is secured by a main door and then another inside door, all accessible by code so it feels very safe. Apartment door is via key. The apartment is located 4-5 stories up without elevator so you will need some fitness to lug your luggage up.
Pierre welcomed us in his apartment n went though how to use the stove etc and has a handy folder with more instructions. He is very friendly and nice! Very responsive too.
His apartment is well decorated and comfortable. He stays in there when it is not rented for Airbnb so you are really living in a true Parisian apartment with nice furniture (unlike other places which mainly uses IKEA furniture). The bed is very comfortable, heater works well, ample closet space. The towels provided are soft and nice and the showers are strong and hot water comes on quickly. The toilet is in a separate room about 6 steps away. It is well sized and definitely spacious for 2 people.
We loved hanging out in the living room which he decorated w Xmas decorations while we were there. We loved coming back and being greeted by the beautiful Xmas trees and lights :) he also had automated shutters for the windows in the living room for some privacy at night.
Kitchen and pantry is well stocked w different condiments and spices. Coffee machine and dishwasher too. He even left us a bottle of champagne!
Don’t be worried that there are just a few reviews as it is a new listing. It is one of the best apartments we stayed during our 2 weeks in France and is definitely 5 stars worthy. Highly recommend!
