this is an Airbnb as it should be, you're staying at a place where someone usually lives in | location : the Alésia quarter is a residential and rather quiet area, with typical small local shops like bio c bon, bakeries such as land & monkeys and some nice local restaurants, like le Gourbi (has vegan options); metros 4 and 13 are within walking distance | flat : be prepared for the otherwise charming staircase with 49 steps; it is a converted attic in which a kitchen, bathroom (both downstairs) and a bedroom (upstairs) have been built in; the main room is light and spacey, with one window front | bedroom : big, has a vasistas (ceiling window), bed big enough for two & comfy mattress; the steep stairs into this cosy den are a challenge | bathroom : rather small, tub with no shower curtain, no windows, but heating for towels | kitchen : small, cooker top and microwave, no real oven, plenty of dishes and cutlery, some food stock from the owner | host : com was ok but don't expect instant reply via the app; we've been received by the charming daughter, a much travelling journalist, who was praising the artsiness of the flat so much we forgot to talk practical stuff like digi code for the main entrance, trash room etc; check-in was a bit chaotic due to a wrong phone number on Airbnb, but she was more than generous about the fact that we had our godchild visiting over the first weekend, providing extra bedding without fussing about | conclusion : we recommend
