Corinne’s apartment is situated on the top floor of a classic Parisian apartment block in the fantastic, youthful area of Oberkampf. The apartment has a lovely balcony - somewhat of a luxury in Paris - which gets the sun throughout the day. The apartment is close to lots of great bars and restaurants and several metro and bus stops. The apartment looks better than the photos when you’re actually there. It was generally clean. Corinne was also very kind to let me have a later check out. However, some home truths about the apartment: it is on the top, 5th floor. There is no lift, and the staircase is steep and old. Bare in mind if you don’t like a workout. If staying in the height of summer, the apartment has no A/C like many Parisian homes, consider if you don’t like the heat. The apartment has only basic amenities, if you’re looking for something more , also consider this. I would advise speaking to Corinne first if you have a late arrival, to assure check in goes smoothly. Overall, I would stay in the apartment again.
