This place was my home away from home for over 5 weeks. I love everything about this apartment. Everything you will read in the reviews is true.
Matthieu was a wonderful host. As a woman traveling alone, I was comforted by the fact that he lives just down the hall. However, despite his close proximity, he was never intrusive. When I did need his help, for example when I needed to get a SIM card for my phone, he was beyond helpful.
The apartment itself is very comfortable. Matthieu has thought of everything. I was able to host friends for dinner parties because the kitchen is so well appointed and the market is (literally) downstairs. The high quality bed and pillows make for a perfect night's sleep. The apartment is away from the street so it is very quiet at night.
The location is ideal. Everything is at your fingertips. The subway is right outside the front door. I could get to anywhere in Paris within minutes. The neighborhood is very colorful and safe.
There are wonderful restaurants everywhere you look. I loved getting crepes from the pizza kiosk across the street. One of my favorite experiences in Paris was walking up the street and buying goodies for a picnic at Buttes Chamount park. This is a MUST do because any self respecting Parisian will agree that it's the most beautiful park in Paris. The park is a short 10 minutes away.
I could go on for hours about how much I loved living here. Instead I encourage you to stop your search and book this place NOW. You will not regret it.
