The apartment is located on a tranquil street in a leafy neighborhood in the upscale part of the 19th arrondissement. You will find plenty of stores, restaurants, and cafés right on your doorstep, but the main attraction is the Buttes Chaumont Park, which is a two-minute walk away. Though located off the beaten track (few tourists venture out here), it's easy to reach downtown Paris: the two closest subway stations are five minutes away, and the ride to Châtelet smack in the middle of Paris takes ten minutes, with trains departing at least every five minutes.
The apartment itself is situated in a modern annex overlooking a peaceful courtyard. It is very quiet; so good is the soundproofing that you won't even hear your next-door neighbors! The apartment is roomy; indeed, more spacious than it appears in the pictures. In addition to a large bathroom with a shower with an overhead and hand-held showerhead with excellent water pressure, the main room offers a bed, a sofa, and a work desk with a chair, which are all very comfortable. The Wifi worked a treat even when I had to work from home due to Covid restrictions for a period of time. The kitchen space is limited, but the kitchen holds everything you will need to prepare warm meals.
I found the apartment to be spotlessly clean on arrival. As I stayed for an extended period of time, Julien offered to book additional appointments (at an extra cost) with his usual cleaner, who was unfailingly reliable, professional, and responsive to my needs.
The same can be said of Julien himself. Unfortunately, I did not get to meet him in person, but his communication was excellent throughout: He kept me abreast of developments in the building and answered all my queries promptly. I can recommend him as a host without any reservation whatsoever.
