Dominique is an extraordinary host! He explains everything during the walk-through, provides plenty of local recommendations (the apartment is in a really great location close to the metro, etc.) including discounts at some of the neighborhood restaurants. His place is beautifully designed and as a Japanophile the attention to detail, beautiful art, and Japanese pieces really made my wife and I feel like we had found a little piece of Japanese serenity in Paris, right down to the authentic Japanese futon bed. If you love red (as my wife does) you will love Dominique’s place! The internet bandwidth is strong but the space is not optimized for remote working. If you are visiting Paris and don’t have to take endless meetings and conference calls you will be just fine. It’s truly a FANTASTIC neighborhood, you have everything: grocery stores, multiple bakeries, delis, cheese shop, and the metro station is super close. If you want to experience the life of a Parisian this is the place to do it! AND if you are continuing your journey in France, Dominique’s apartment is very well situated to get the autoroute via Porte des Vincennes, so you don’t have to cross the whole city which can be complicated.
