I was unable to stay at Patrick and Franck’s place due to logistical issues, but my partner was able to and he wanted to make sure to add a review!
Patrick and Franck were wonderful and friendly hosts. My check-in was very efficient and Franck was helpful in providing keys and information about the area. Both Patrick and Franck were very responsive during my visit and they were helpful to talk about advice and recommendations for my stay in Paris. The apartment matched the pictures provided on AirBnb as the studio was clean and provided more than enough space for me to stay with my bags and anything I needed during my stay. The kitchen space is well-stocked so you can make food at home in case there are times when you don’t want to be eating elsewhere. The TV was in great condition and a wide array of channels are provided. The view from the balcony is beautiful as well, I agree with other reviewers that the view from the studio brings a classic Parisian feel. The apartment is just minutes away from the Gare du Nord metro stop/train station which was very helpful for being able to travel around the city or for excursions outside of the city. The apartment is within five to ten minutes of a number of different grocery stores so finding food I wanted during my stay was never a problem. The only thing I think that someone would need to be cautious about is that if you have physical problems with climbing stairs (especially with bags), the studio is at the top of the building and there isn’t an elevator. It’s more of an advisory for folks though as I loved the view of the Sacre Coeur that I saw from the window right next to the stairs when you walk out of the studio. Definitely recommended!
