Yacine’s place is located in a quiet and tranquil neighborhood, which also seems to be safe. The flat has been remodeled not so long ago, so the “Flat with all modern cons” title is well deserved, especially the kitchen and the bathroom, which are really nice and modern. The bed and the sofa bed are both quite comfortable; the flat is small, as most mid-price flats in Paris, but it can easily sleep 4 adults. Hot water is always available 24/7. The wardrobe chest in the bedroom is somewhat outdated, but it works. This apartment is exactly as it looks in the photos on Airbnb’s site.
Yacine provides his guests from North America with adapters for electrical appliances to fit the European voltage outlets. The kitchen has plenty of dishes, glasses, cutlery, etc., as well as a dishwasher. WiFi was adequate. TV is French-only.
Although I never met Yacine personally, communication was always agile and kind, with prompt responses from Yacine. The check-in was very easy and immediate, with no time losses; the check-out was also very easy. During our week-long stay, we never had the need to contact the host, since everything went OK.
The flat is very close to Glacière Metro station, where you can board Line 6; line 6 will take you directly to Montparnasse, Tour Eiffel, Trocadero, Arc de Triumph, and Place de Italie. Also close to the flat is Denfert-Rochereau Metro station, where RER-B train may take you directly to Jardin de Luxembourg, Notre Dame, Gare du Nord and CDG airport, or where you can board the ORLY-bus. Line 6 stops at Denfert-Rochereau, so you can take Line 6 at Glacière and commute at Denfert-…, or you can walk some 800 yards from the flat. Transport is really a convenience.
There are at least two small supermarkets close to the flat, as well as a Minimarket. Several reasonably-priced restaurants are on the same block, or around the corner.
This apartment helped us having a pleasant stay in Paris. Next time I go to Paris as a tourist, I will consider booking Yacine’s flat again. Once more, thanks, Yacine.
