For those Americans who don’t know European places this apartment is the third floor up. There’s no washcloths and no bar soap. Also the towels aren’t great and he needs to buy new bed pillows. Everything is basic. Photos are brighter than reality. Plenty of dishes but I wouldn’t plan to cook there. There’s a clothes washer but no dryer. Just a drying rack. There’s soap for the washer. The shower just encases you, no extra space. The microwave is set kind of high for anyone below 5’4”. The garden courtyard is only for storage and not even a chair to sit in. The building owners could fix it to be welcoming but I doubt they’d bother. It all depends on your expectations. If you need some place to sleep inbetween tourist stuff it’s ok. The area is ok, plenty of bistros, patisseries, boulangers, neighborhood stores. I never felt unsafe. There was construction going on during weekdays about 8/8:30 am. Not the fault of the host but annoying. Good area for tourists. Sacre Coeur is right above you. Close to the Metro - just minutes- and the Gare d’Nord is 1.1 mile away, a 20 minute walk, more like a 10 minute drive. Frederic was good with communication and helpful with some information I requested. He was really great getting us into the apartment. Easy departure.
