Very nice apartment in Paris with a great host. Sebastién is very helpful and responds immediately to any of your questions.
I love Paris, and have lived here before, although this was a new area for me. My partner and his 9-year old daughter visited Paris (and France) for the very first time and both of them are talking about our next trip to the best city in the world. Disneyland was amazing for the 9-year old (and the 30+ adults as well ;)
We were recommended (by Sebastién) New York Paris burgers (resto at Faubourg Saint Denis) which was really good. As well as the gelato Pozetto and falafels in le Marais. I’ll save all tips from our host as we didn’t have enough time to go through the whole list.
The apartments is located in an area where it’s busy all day and night with large groups of men hanging around Barbès Rochechouart, but you should not feel intimidated. They didn’t pay any attention to us at all. And we went there after midnight with our 9-year old both Friday and Saturday. The area is a mix of people and just one street from another can give you a complete other impression. It’s interesting and a cool area I’d say. Showing you more of the “true” Paris and not only the tourist locations.
The appartement is a very typical Parisian flat with small stairs (no elevator) and 2 rooms. However, the interior is very fresh (newly decorated) with a large bed. Sebastien had prepared the sofa for the 9-year old but she preferred to sleep with us, which was no problem at all. We slept very comfortable and good after long days in the city, walking as much as we could.
Are you about to visit Paris I can definitely recommend Sebastién’s appartement.
