Stayed here for a one week trip to Paris from the US/Texas with a group of 4 adults. We can confirm the previous glowing reviews. We had a phenomenal trip, in large part due to Stephane and this apartment!
Regarding location, lots of popular tourist locations (Notre Dame, Louvre, Marais, Pantheon) are within walking distance. Bakeries and markets are just around the corner. Shakespeare and Company always had a line in front of it. For soccer fans like ourselves, Parc des Princes where PSG/Messi play is a straight shot on Metro line 10 from the closest Metro stop (Maubert-Mutualite).
Regarding the host, Stephane is incredibly responsive and will go out of his way to ensure a smooth visit and that all apartment amenities (kitchen, laundry, TV etc.) are in working order. His introduction to the apartment is especially helpful, as a lot of the buttons and knobs on the appliances are a little different from those commonly found in the US.
Our timeframe was the weekend after Thanksgiving through the first weekend of December 2021, just as news of Omicron and new travel restrictions was blowing up. For those requiring COVID antigen tests for travel or Pass Sanitaire, a pharmacy is around the corner that can process folks without appointment.
