Antoine’s apartment was a great place to land in Paris. While I never met him in person, he was quick to respond to any inquiry I sent to him about the house and was even able to accommodate an earlier check in. His home has many nice upgrades and was clean. The apartment is 5 stories up. I’m young and in good shape and it was a daunting trek for me to make the trek each day. Lol. The location was very close to the Bastille but off the beaten path from the usual “tourist” spots. Great for me as I wanted a more authentic Parisian experience and had some fabulous food in the area. Very close to the metro which can connect you to the popular monuments. The only negative thing I could say about the apartment is the noise from one of the neighbors. The neighborhood itself was very quiet at night but a mother and child were quite loud. The walls are very thin and I could hear the kid crying at night and through the morning and the mother scolding her child. It woke me up multiple times. It wouldn’t keep me from renting the place, but I would bring ear plugs next time if I planned on sleeping in.
