Johan was an awesome, welcoming host and always available to answer questions!! We did not get to meet him but he left very helpful post it notes everywhere and was available through whatsapp. We also had trouble finding his place and he was available the whole time to lead us to the correct address. He gave wonderful recommendations for places to eat and buy cheese and baguettes. His place was very clean, well organized and nicely decorated. The view of the park and the streets on both sides of this corner apartment were awesome! There was tons of natural light! It’s nice to open the huge windows and just hear everything going on in the streets. Not only that, the location can’t be beat! There were a number of cafes & bars within walking distance as well as eateries & supermarkets. Les Enfant rouges outdoor market was just a couple of minutes away as well as Jouannault cheese shop, Ernest & Valentin boulangerie and Pierre herme macarons. Super convenient! The apartment looks and feels much better than the pictures. My siblings came by and were all envious of the apartment because it was so spacious and had a lot of natural light. The elevator was definitely a very convenient and useful feature. Also, there’s cool lighting controlled by the hue app. Johan thought of everything!
Things we loved:
-open airy living room with lots of natural lighting from the huge windows
-the washer/dryer came in very handy
-the bed and sheets were very comfy
-I also liked having the nespresso machine, french cable tv, and shampoo & soap in the shower. There was even an umbrella for us to use in case it rained. He thought of everything!
Things to note:
-if you have a cat allergy, the owner has a cat that hangs out in the living room. My husband is allergic to cats so he was sneezing a lot in the living room but he was fine in the bedroom because the cat does not go in the bedroom.
Our Paris experience was made extra special by staying here. We could not have asked for a better apartment to truly enjoy Paris in. We would love to stay here again next time we’re in Paris. Johan provided all the necessary items to make our stay extremely comfortable and welcoming. Thanks so much Johan for being a wonderful and welcoming host!
