Buyer beware: while we really enjoyed the location to La Republique metro station, the communication with Antoine was slower than the 1 hour advertised time. We first contacted him regarding no toilet paper in the apartment and didn’t hear back for 5 hours. We had already bought some. Then we were locked out of the apartment after returning from a long day and it took 2 hours to hear back from him. We couldn’t resolve the issue over the phone, and it was midnight at that point. Luckily there was a hotel across the street that had a vacancy so we paid (out of our pocket) for a room to get some sleep -without any of our toiletries because they were inside the apartment. We expected to get in first thing in the morning, but didn’t hear from Antoine until almost 10am, and he sent his son to meet us, which was after noon by the time he arrived. We were not able to actually get in to the apartment until 5pm, so we spent the day waiting… and wearing the same clothes as the day before. The communication was terrible because Antoine was actually in chicago so there was a time zone difference.
The apartment itself is nice, what one would expect from a place in paris (small rooms, but clean and tidy). Just be cautious if renting this property that if something goes wrong, it may take 18 hours to be resolved.
