Joachim was incredibly communicative from the start, which was enormously helpful. This is a "lived-in" apartment (vs an apartment that someone only keeps to be rented out) so it feels like you are staying at a friend's place instead of in a hotel - which can be good or bad, depending on what you are seeking.

The apartment is quite small (which was perfectly fine for me) and does not have WiFi (again, perfectly fine as I wanted to spend my time in Paris, not on my computer!) but has all the basics one needs for a home base in the the 18e. It is also in a building with coded door feels very secure.

I was in Paris for a concert at La Cigale, for which this apartment was incredibly convenient - just 200m away. And again I must stress how helpful Joachim was before I arrived (and I think he would have been just as responsive during my stay if I had needed it), which made the entire process much smoother. I would definitely consider staying here again in the future!
