We enjoyed our stay at Sam’s place. Though we didn’t meet him personally check in was simple and communication was easy. The apartment is quirky and well sized for Paris. The kitchen was well stocked and overall we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The area is ok, conveniently located for the metro and a short walk from Montmartre. The only downside was being on the 6th floor (stairs only- no lift) the apartment was hot in the summer (we visited during a heatwave) but the street was too noisy for us to sleep comfortably with the window open. Sam has provided fans however which helped. Overall a nice stay.
