Laurent’s room was quite spacey for the fairly small apartment. Everything was tidy and clean. The airco was a big plus because the temperatures were pretty high when we were there and Wifi worked perfectly.
The place is modern with a compact but well-equipped kitchen.
We stayed there for 4 nights and even though there was no full closet, there were 2 empty drawers, a long ledge, and 2 tall chairs that served the purpose well.
There are big windows you can open when you wish with curtains to keep the place dark during the day if you want to sleep some more. Noise on the street didn't bother us even during the day as long as the windows were closed.
Aside from the airco, there is also an electric fan that you can use if you just want better air circulation while the windows are closed. We made use of the air humidifier present in the room and it kept the room smelling nice and fresh throughout our stay.
Face towels, bath towels, tissue paper were provided.
There is an extension cord which you can use in the room (also shown in the picture).
There’s coffee, tea, and you can use the refrigerator.
The apartment is located on the first floor without a lift, but the one flight of stairs is very wide so carrying your luggage shouldn't be a problem.
The location of the house is just perfect. The railway station of Paris-Nord is about 30 minutes by walk, but you can take the metro too. Line 4 of the metro takes you almost everywhere in the city, and the Chateau Rouge stop is just a 5 minute walk from the house. And of course there’s the Sacré Coeur that’s just a few minutes away (long stairs though).
The Carrefour supermarket is just around the corner, but we unfortunately haven’t had the chance to scout the rest of the neighbourhood (restaurants) since we were scouting the rest of the city.
Laurent is very welcoming, accommodating, friendly, speaks both French and English, respectful of our privacy, helpful, polite and flexible. He replied immediately and clearly to our questions.
His work schedule worked well for us so there was no problem with the use of the shared amenities (kitchen, separate toilet, bathroom).
Since there were no guests checking in that day, he allowed us to leave our bags until we had to take our evening train.
Maps will be waiting for you in the apartment so no need to go hunting for this information when you arrive in Paris. He will also give you useful information about the area.
You get your own key and can freely come and go when you please.
We would recommend this place because of the host, location, and apartment and hope it's available when we come back.
