Johann's place truly is Airbnb's hidden gem! 11/10!
I cannot recommend Johann's hospitality and apartment any higher. The whole experience was seamless; from payment, to contact, to the host's attentiveness... I was utterly shocked at how perfect my stay was.
The apartment is perfect for 1 or 2 people. I stayed with my girlfriend as part of a long anniversary weekend and it was perfectly suited for us.
The flat is located on the 6th floor of this beautifully traditional Parisian town house block which is riddled with period features and quirks, but do not be mislead as on entering the flat itself it takes on a very cosmopolitan, modern character. It's immaculate and surprisingly illusive in how spacious the layout is.
The balcony overlooking the cobbled streets is perfect for resigning yourself to at the end of a long, hot, and sunny day exploring all that Paris has to offer; allowing an ideal venue for a refreshing spritzer and some people watching.
Everyone is so welcoming and we even managed to strike up conversation with the locals that lived on the floor below us. You immediately feel part of a community and what with it's quaint boulangerie a stones throw away from your door on the corner, coupled with a typical Parisian bar not much further and a great Carrefour, perfect for picking up bits and pieces for your day trips, it was about as authentic as any stay in Paris was going to get.
Johann was super helpful and knowledgable! He was so sweet in preparing us some iced tea for the hot summer day on our arrival and gave us a book which aided in our exploration of the city. With contact details exchanged, he informed us that at any time should we need anything or have any questions then we could message him whenever we wished.
Ultimately, it was the most perfect weekend break we have ever had made so by Johann and his lovely apartment. Everything about the area screamed quintessentially French and we would love to return!
