First of all, I’d like to thank Fabrice for making my first ever AirBnB stay such a positive and happy experience. He truly is a Superhost who is a pleasure to deal with and who will make sure you’re well looked after and have everything you need. All communication with him was easy. He’s very responsive and he will check in regularly during your stay to see if everything’s okay. He’s friendly, calm, patient, professional and kind. I had a bit of an emergency on my last night in the flat but that was also swiftly dealt with and I’m very grateful it got resolved easily.
I stayed at Fabrice’s apartment for three weeks in August and thoroughly enjoyed it. I was so happy to have found this place and felt at home from the moment I arrived. I was welcomed by Fabrice’s friend Sebastien (also a very nice guy), who explained everything and answered any questions I had. He was kind enough to lug my suitcase up the narrow staircase to the fifth floor (there’s no lift but this was no big deal for me).
The apartment is modern and tastefully furnished, very well equipped, clean and tidy. Everything was in good working order and the wifi also worked well throughout my stay. The bed was comfortable too with a good matress. Its biggest draw, however, is the absolutely stunning view from the bedroom. To look at the gorgeous Sacre Coeur basilica from the bed first thing in the morning and last thing at night, all lit up, is breathtaking! I ended up spending a lot more time relaxing in the apartment than initially intended because I enjoyed it so much.
As a female solo traveller I felt safe in the area. I’ve been to Paris numerous times but never for a long stay. The location is great and you’re close to two metro stations. For grocery shopping I used the big Carrefour supermarket which is by the metro station up the main road (3-4 mins walk away) and also the one near Pigalle which is a little further away (12 mins walk) but slightly better stocked.
I left my temporary Paris home well-rested but with a somewhat heavy heart, wishing I could’ve stayed longer. I hope to be able to stay here again next year. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who’s considering booking it. I was very happy there.
Thank you, Fabrice, Sebastien & Sandra!
Best wishes, Nicole.
