My boyfriend and I enjoyed our time in Cloé's apartment. We didn't had the chance to meet her in person, but by the way she communicates she seems like someone with a strong and positive energy. The instructions to get in the apartment were very clear and it felt like a short scavenger hunt, which was fun to do. The stairs can be a bit of a challenge for some, but after the climb you will be rewarded with stronger legs and the relaxed atmosphere of the apartment. Cloé’s place has all the basic things that you need. Although we had expected a coffee machine, we learned to use the French coffee press. It was easy and now we are getting one for ourselves. The apartement is clean and the bed is just amazing. To be honest; we felt like home, but than in Paris!
About the location. If you are a cosmopolitan and/or you love diversity, this is the place to be. Almost every day we went to this restaurant/café in front of the church (3 min walk) for drinks. We felt inspired by the blend of people; immigrants, students, older people, young couples, young families, all types of skincolours. It felt like utopia, like how the world should be. They also inspired us with the way they expressed themselves with their clothes. We also made a couple of friends in that neighbourhood.
We hope to visit again. Also, if you want recommendations for very Parisian none touristic restaurants, cafés and or winebars: Just ask Cloé.
