Fabien was a wonderful and responsive host who provided easy check in and even carried both my mother and my large bags up the three flights of stairs to the apartment. The place was clean, stylish, with a comfy bed, and perfect for two people. There are two Metro stops located within a block and at least 3 markets and plenty of fruit stands within in an easy walking distance (less than a block, including two next door to the complex). The neighborhood was quiet and we slept soundly. It felt very local, while being within a short metro ride from all of the main tourist spots. While in Paris be prepared for lots of stairs, up to the apartment, around each of the metro stops, tourist destinations, or even just in restaurants to get to the bathroom. All in all a very pleasant stay.
