This place is in an incredible location. The street it is on is very quiet but it is perpendicular to two major streets which lead you everywhere. The apartment is directly across the street from a health food coop, which is very nice.
Currently the apartment is completely empty, when you go inside you have the feeling that you just moved into a new apartment and you need to do a lot of housewarming. I hope the host will add a few simple decorations, like a carpet, maybe some art prints on the wall or some fairy lights in the little bedroom area.
There is the issue of the stairs, it is six flights of steep old wooden stairs. Unfortunately we had a lot of heavy baggage, so it was very difficult and even a bit dangerous for us. However, if you only have one or two small bags, it is no problem.
Eric, the host, was very responsive and helpful. I can definitely recommend working with him.
This apartment has the potential to be an incredible Parisian experience for travelers and we hope Eric continues to make upgrades and improvements to make this place amazing.
