I simply cannot review Nadir’s apartment highly enough. It was my home for 2 months while I was studying in Paris and it was the best Airbnb I have stayed in so far.
The flat is exactly like the photos. It’s absolutely beautiful - tastefully decorated, light, and modern. It is perfect for couples or for single travellers like myself. It is spacious, clean, and really has a “homey” vibe to it. The apartment was equipped with everything you may need - coffee machine, oven, dishwasher, microwave, washer and dryer, etc and was cleaned every Wednesday by the cleaning lady, Yan.
The location is wonderful. You are a 1 minute walk away from both metro stations Pyrénées and Jourdain located on line 11. There are grocery stores, cafés, bars, restaurants (if you like pizza, go to Il Posto just a 1 minute walk away), etc. The apartment is right above a bakery, which has the BEST croissants you will ever have! Belleville Park is just a 5 minute walk away as well, with lovely views of the Eiffel Tower. Parc de Buttes Chaumont, the most beautiful park in Paris, is less than a 10 minute walk away. The only downside to the location of Nadir’s place is sometimes I felt a little bit unsafe at night. It gets kind of sketchy at night, and I’m a young woman and I was living by myself so I had to take some extra precaution. Besides that, the location couldn’t be more ideal.
Nadir is a fantastic host. Though I never had the pleasure of meeting him, he was quick to respond with any questions or concerns that I had. Any remote problem that arose, Nadir was quick to find a solution despite being overseas.
Nadir’s apartment really is special and I will recommend it to anyone. I wouldn’t even think about staying elsewhere when I come back to Paris. This place really felt like home for the 2 months I was there, and I actually miss it very much.
Thank you, Nadir for everything! I will definitely be back. :)
