My recent 16 day stay in Pablo’s loft apartment in Paris was a real pleasure. I arrived late on a Saturday evening (a rather inconvenient time) and Pablo was gracious enough to meet me at the apartment, show me around, transfer the keys and offer me a very nice bottle of French wine. We had an engaging conversation and he took all the time necessary to make sure I was comfortable and familiar with nearby markets, restaurants and cafés (of which there are many). Pablo also pointed me to his extensive and very useful list of Parisian restaurants, cafés, bars and music venues on his Airbnb profile. The apartment is exactly as represented – top floor (with elevator covering all but first and last floor, fully equipped kitchen, washer/dryer, bathtub/shower, two queen size beds, lots of light and fresh air from multiple double paned skylight windows, comfortable "living room" seating area and large dining table. Pablo also has a wonderful collection of contemporary and historical literature covering a wide range of intellectual interests. His neighborhood is a food-lovers haven, with easy access to the Bastille, Rue de Charonne, Cimetière du Père-Lachaise and virtually any location in and around Paris via Metro and/or RER. If I were to own an apartment in Paris, I would be quite satisfied with the type of apartment and location of Pablo’s place. Finally, and most important, I found Pablo thoroughly engaging, accommodating and a pleasure to meet. I would definitely recommend his apartment to others and it would be a pleasure to see him again and stay in his apartment when visiting Paris in the future.
