I can’t say enough wonderful things about Stéphane and his apartment!
Even before I booked the flat, Stéphane was very helpful with all my questions and was incredibly accommodating to my changing schedule. I was unable to obtain times for my train into Paris until 2 days before the trip and also didn’t book my flight out till I was already staying at the flat, but he was very understanding and had no issue to my late arrival/early departure. When I made it to the apartment he was there waiting for me, carried my heavy luggage up the stairs and had a bottle of wine at the flat to welcome me to the city! Seriously the best host ever!
The apartment itself is stunning; decorated with plants, paintings and books on modern and classical artists. There are large windows on both sides of the flat; one side opening to the courtyard with a beautiful view of the rooftops and Sacré-Cœur, with the others opening to lively rue Oberkampf. There is even a skylight window in the kitchen, which opened to keep the flat ventilated and cool during the hot summer weather. Additionally the flat is quite comfortable, modern and all the amenities you would need for your stay are provided.
It’s perfectly located in the 11eme, with multiple bars, restaurants, cafés, right outside the door. Parmentier station is just 3 minutes away with Oberkampf station no more than 10 mins walk but honestly the flats location made it very easy to explore the entire city by foot. I stayed at the apartment for a month and used the metro solely when I needed to get somewhere quickly.
The only thing I have to note is the key lock to the building is a little tricky to master as it seems to be worn from the amount of use. Even with Stéphane’s patient explanation, I initially had some trouble entering the building. After a few times entering/exiting though, it became almost unnoticeable. Just practice your technique few times and you’re set!

I really can’t recommend the flat and the host enough and would stay there again in a heartbeat. Thanks for such an amazing stay!
