Brice's apartment was exactly as described (if not better). Communication with Brice and check in was very easy. The apartment itself is a hidden gem and Brice is a genius when it comes to getting the most out of a small space. It was cosy, homely and light-filled and the tasteful, personal decorations ensured that the flat never feels claustrophobic. The best features were the amazing power shower (hard to come by when traveling!) and the wonderful view including Sacre Coeur. It is also nearby the metro but it's easy to walk to some major attractions and Gare du Nord and l'est.
Previous reviews have mentioned the area is a bit "rough" but believe there is nothing to worry about unless you put yourself into a dangerous situation or possibly if you're alone after dark. But definitely stay alert and use common sense on the streets. Regardless, I travelled as a female on my own and had no issues. I actually encountered more friendliness and Brice's neighbour was even kind enough to smile and help me with the stiff key even through my awful attempts to communicate in French.
All in all, the flat is beautifully decorated and in a handy location with a thoughtful and professional host. Definitely great value for money.
