Wow, where to start? This may be the perfect Parisian apartment to stumble upon in my last minute sprawl to extend my visit in France! The neighborhood is beautiful, tucked very centrally behind the Bastille metro and bustling neighborhood, a stone throw away from Buttes Chaumont, and other lines like Pyrenees. To be honest I rarely used the. metro and biked everywhere from this apartment and found this style of getting around really rewarding from where I was located. When you arrive the street is flanked with sweet and trendy French brasseries, an adorable Thai restaurant, and a famous vegan Japanese izakaya restaurant that is incredible. The building is classic, old bones, gorgeous courtyard with lots of light and charm and a relative feeling of privacy even though it's a shared common space. There is a beautiful steel grey cat whose name has escaped me but they are lovely and ask for many pets. The key pick up I found charming and easy as it helps you orient where the apartment is in relation to the neighborhood if you are someone like me and familiar with this part of Paris!
What else? The kitchen is gorgeous, fully equipped with everything you need to host a little dinner with friends. Upon arrival the home was immaculately clean and the afternoon sun flooded the space. There's a treelike that greets you wen you look out to the windows most central to the apartment and living room with lots of peace and quiet. Washing machine in the apartment was a huge bonus. Lots of space! I would highly recommend this listing! Lastly, working with a third party like Brothers Care made check in so simple and effortless. I had mistakenly booked my reservation a day late and hurried to send their team a message letting them know that I was interested in changing my reservation a day earlier. Luckily the apartment was already cleaned and prepared for my arrival and the Brothers Care team made the transition incredibly simple and straightforward! I would love to work with Brothers Care in booking my next stay in Paris! Five Stars :)
