An easy 10-min walk to the Bastille Market in one direction and to the fringe of Pere Lachaise in the other, this is a well-located, easy-to-access, clean, reasonably-priced place to stay in Paris. We had a lovely visit. Never met our host.
This is not a lived-in apartment. Rather, it has all the hallmarks of a made-for-airbnb flat, with all the good and bad that comes with it.
They've done some really smart and creative things -- we appreciated that the two bunk beds in one small room were accompanied by a closet big enough for four suitcases just across the narrow entrance hall. The lighting is by turns clever and exasperating -- clever in that they've made the most of the very limited natural light, exasperating because they've created a situation where a light on anywhere in the flat is a light on everywhere in the flat.
And yet.
It sleeps six, has two legit full bathrooms, is super-easy to access, and the host is responsive and communicative (never met). It is easily nice enough to be preferable to two rooms in a meh hotel, which is the best one could hope for in Paris at a similar price.
