Alexandre's home was amazing. The location was fantastic!! Apparently, Oberkampf is a much sought-after location in Paris - and it did not disappoint. The street is lined with so many restaurants and bars (with great happy hours!) so there is always something delicious to eat. There are several grocery stores minutes away which makes shopping convenient. The metro line is steps away from the front door which makes traveling closer into the city a breeze. We were so sad to leave this location, I wish we had booked it for longer.
The apartment is situated in a cute courtyard and away from the busy street so it is very quiet. However, there were a lot of fireworks almost every night/day which kept us awake and a little annoyed. It may not be a good place for a baby or children (although we have no idea why there were so many fireworks).
The Wifi wasn't the strongest, and for two digital nomads that had to work during the day, this was a little bit of a bummer. The Wifi also didn't reach into the upstairs attic room or the bedroom that well.
I didn't realize when we booked that the second bed was in the attic and did not have walls/a door. I think this was my own fault though, so just a warning. The attic was also very very hot during the summer as it is the top floor. The skylights can not be kept open if it is raining. Although during thunderstorms the skylights were very cool to have.
Overall, I would definitely stay at this apartment again. Alexandre was also very accommodating and responsive. Plus he has a fantastic CD collection!
