Giacomo's apartment is an incredible space. In terms of localization, it could not have been better: Close to everything that matters and the street has a magic of its own. It is so quaint and homely and lively at the same time and life there seems to be in slow motion: an old fish market, lots of small stores of household goods, tiny fruit markets, many restaurants with tables on the side walk with candle light and everything immersed in that marvelous parisian atmosphere. I spent a month there and became a local: I was greeted by the gentleman in the small market, made friends with the croissant baker, with the owner of the poke store, walked to everywhere from there, so close to a carefour, Bon Marche. I simply loved it. The interaction with Samuel ( Giacomo's employee) was superb. He is polite, responsive, intelligent and not intrusive. It could not have been better. The apartment itself is really good. It is so ample, I should say incredibly ample for Paris standards! And it has all the facilities it should: the internet is decent, the washing machine is excellent, the kitchen has proper pans and utilities. The linnen is of good quality and comes in large proportions, there is plenty of good storage. Security in the building seems really good and the location is simply unbeatable. The apartment has little light to my standards, specially in the kitchen and in the bedroom and the hosts need to offer better extensions. We also believe that the bed in the bedroom is too low. It would be way more comfortable to elevate the mattress over a matress box. Overall don't hesitate to to hire this apartment, if you are in for a delightful Paris experience.
