Daniel’s apartment is very charming and incredibly spacious, and we appreciated his warm welcome upon our arrival. He also kindly provided a crib and high chair for our stay. However, there were a few upkeep issues that have prevented me from leaving a 5-star review: the majority of dishes, glasses, and flatware in the kitchen were dirty upon arrival, there were no supplies at all for our 3-week long booking (e.g. dish detergent, laundry detergent, paper towels etc), and the mattress in the main bedroom had obvious dark stains that were visible through the thin bedsheet. The internet also wasn’t working properly for the first week of our stay which affected our work, and it took a couple of days before the issue was fully resolved.
The apartment is very quiet, especially in the evening, and the neighbourhood is great with lots of dining options close-by. Despite being located close to the St. Denis area (which has a bad rep), it never felt unsafe. The heating system worked very well in the apartment, and the stovetop was great. This is a great option if you are looking for a spacious apartment in a central location, with a very darling Parisian balcony!
