I spent four weeks in Richard and Annie's apartment and thoroughly enjoyed it. The location is not in the middle of all touristy places but has several metro stations within 5-15 minutes and a few bus lines within a few minutes that take you everywhere in Paris. The neighbourhood is very active and has every convenience possible. Big and small supermarkets, restaurants and cafes and retail stores are all within short walking distance. I really enjoyed walking in the neighbourhood and shopping for groceries and pastries. The building is located on a busy street but the apartment itself is facing away from the street so there is very little noise at all. The apartment is spacious and very airy and light. The main bed and sofa bed were both very comfortable. The kitchen and bathroom are vintage and not updated, but they're both clean and functional. The kitchen appliances and pots/pans need an upgrade, but they all worked. Regardless, We had a great time spending time inside the apartment and resting from all the site seeing. The heating system also worked well and kept the apartment warm and cozy. All together, I loved my experience there and would stay in the apartment again if I go back to Paris. It was also delightful to meet Richard on the first day and communicate with him through WhatsApp throughout my stay. Highly recommended!
