My husband and I stayed in Simon's flat for 11 days. First and foremost Simon is a wonderful host, he answered all the questions we had, he was very helpful and even provided us an extra set of clean sheets mid-stay! The flat was very clean, just as pictured, the separate bedroom with the dark curtains allow for a good nights sleep, also the bed was perfect for two and very comfortable. We were quite happy with the bathroom, great water pressure and nicely sized shower. Location was nice, safe and conveniently located near bakeries, supermarkets, and metro stations (Blanche & Abbesses) a few great spots that we went to for dinner in the area were: La vache et le cuisinier , Aux Trois Petits Cochons and there was a pizza/pasta spot on this same road as Aux Trois Petits Cochons, I don't remember the name though, it was SO good! . Lastly, the view...the pictures don't do it justice. It's quite spectacular, after walking up those five flights of stairs (no elevator) trust me, it's worth it. I would definitely recommend staying here while visiting the beautiful city of Paris!
