Communication with Wakim is excellent. I never met nor spoke with Wakim, but it is not necessary as his messages in AirBnb are very good. He responds to requests quickly.

Check in was easy. I told Wakim the time we would arrive at the apartment and Frederic was waiting even though we were about a half hour late.

The buildings are behind a gated entry so security is not a problem. The apartment is on the second floor, which means two flights of curved stairs. There is no elevator. There is a hallway light, but at night it is dark at the apartment door. So have a spare light (smart phone app?) available to see where to put the key. This is an older building but well maintained. The apartment is renovated with up to date appliances. Everything worked fine including the wifi and large screen led TV.

The apartment is small (2 rooms) about 300+ square feet, but ample for 2 people. Enter to a living room with couch and coffee table. The living room is open to the kitchen area. A small room off the kitchen houses the toilet and wash machine.

A hall way goes to the good sized bedroom with queen size bed. The shower and sink are incorporated into the bedroom. They are not a separate room. There is not a lot of closet storage space nor furniture bureau dresser drawers.

The apartment is in a good location, a 15 minute walk northeast to the Eiffel Tower. A Metro stop is 2 blocks away. A bus stop is a half block away. This makes Paris easily accessible. There are numerous cafes close by and well as grocery stores and fresh fruit stands. All in all a nice location. It is quiet. The apartment window faces away from the street so there is no noise. The only noise is if someone walks up or down the stairs. But that occurs infrequently. We never heard voices from another apartment.

Check out was easy. We had to leave early in the morning so Fred said to leave the keys in the apartment and close the door.

A nice place to stay.
