Angie & Chris (and Tof & Augustin and whomever else helped) were the nicest hosts I have ever encountered on Airbnb, putting up with multiple schedule changes and panicked messages re checking in with a smile. Chris has even made a very helpful YouTube video that goes through all the different amenities.
=As you can tell from the pictures, the loft is extremely tastefully done up with pink & brown encaustic tiles, vintage chairs and little homages to Maurice Chevalier, who performed just around the corner at the Folies Bergere
=The kitchen is fully equipped--they thought of everything you'd need for a short stay (wine opener, colander, cutting board, bread knife, etc.)
=The bed is very comfortable
=I had some trouble with the door at check in, but once you get how it works, access is very easy. Also secure.
=The apartment is quiet, because it's in a courtyard--you do hear the garbage trucks a little, but it's not very noticeable
=The location is very convenient for walking around--the Cadet metro is a few blocks away, and then you can walk uphill to Rue des Martyrs for your groceries and Pigalle and Montmartre further uphill, or go east to the Strasbourg-St Denis area for great Middle Eastern, or south to Rue de Nil and Rue Montorgueil for wine bars and more markets....
=If you're a foreign visitor (or even if you're not), I highly recommend Pharmacie Bergere nearby for your covid test etc. pharmacy needs. The people there were very kind.
=The windows are tinted so people in the courtyard can't look in. But given that the view is of the services ramp, so you may want to turn your chairs to face into the lovely room instead if you want to have your coffee al fresco.
Thanks again---already looking forward to another stay!
