If you are looking for a fabulous stay in a cosy, artistic apartment with all facilities nearby, look no further! In a group of three, we had a fantastic stay for three days at the weekend and felt very welcome and relaxed. Unfortunately Pascal could not be there in person for check in, but his mother was there to welcome me with a lovely warm smile on her face. Spoke to Pascal by phone at arrival and told him that his mother was being so excellent in introducing me to the apartment that I had no further questions at that moment.
The pictures of the apartment give you a very good impression of the rooms, but the rooms and art are even better in real life. You can play with the brightness of the lights to create different atmospheres. The bathroom/toilet is tiny indeed, but not a problem for us at all, while being not such big persons. The elevator in the building is also tiny and fits 1 person with a backpack and a trolley or 3 happy, tired people arriving back home in the morning after a night in the club. We had some good nights of sleep and enjoyed our fresh breakfast from the market nearby at the dining table with beautiful, chique chairs.
Most important is that when you are in the apartment, you can really sit back on the sofa, relax and enjoy the peace and quiet around you. You can hear the surrounding sounds of the people living in the complex and walking on the street, but you don't hear the traffic down the street, for instance, at Gare de Lyon. Perfect for when you had a busy day and want to chill to the max as if you were at home. One evening we watched a movie on the big sofa and almost fell asleep of cosiness.
I can recommend Pascal's apartment for (a group of max. 3) people who really want to experience the personal Paris vibe, who love to eat the local specialties and want to have the metro/taxi/bus nearby to go to the tourist attractions but not want to be in the hectic middle of it. Pascal's place is what we will keep in mind if we want to go to Paris again!
