Gaspard's place is compact but extremely well-designed and well-appointed. It is convenient to the Pigalle Metro station, the boutique shops on Rue des Martyrs, and the more conventional (and exotic) shopping, restaurants, and nightlife in the neighborhood. Gaspard is a gracious and responsive host. The smart lock system is genius, because it means you can get the key on your smartphone without having to coordinate a meeting time with the host. The apartment came with nice amenities, including trendy herbal body wash and shampoo as well as an espresso machine and a supply of coffee pods. Do be aware that you will have to climb two flights of stairs (no elevator) to reach the apartment. When we arrived, the apartment was sparkling clean. As a bonus, the cleaning woman came by to straighten up the place a couple of times during our eight-night stay. We would gladly book again!
