This apartment was exactly what I wanted as someone who used to live in Paris and knew the city well. I needed a place to stay to catch up w locals and do non-touristy things, while still being close enough to main attractions where I could stock up on some food/souvenirs to bring home to family.
I love the Canal St. Martin area - the best bars and restaurants and I never felt like I had to go too out of the way.
Checkign in was super easy and Sara responded within minutes when I couldn't figure out how to turn on the heat or the stove.
The accommodations were great, the room/furniture super comfy (it's actual, real, furniture. Not IKEA for chronic Airbnb hosts, but something you can tell the owner took pride and investment in purchasing). I felt like a proper adult staying in a great spot. Would definitely stay again!
