This place was great!... for me.
This a hard to review home because even though it was perfect for someone like me, it can be far from it to someone else.
First things first, Brice is a great host! Very responsive and caring.
Second, please read the description very carefully. This apartment is located on the seventh floor (ground floor plus 6 more stories) and there is no elevator. That means that you will have to walk up and down the stairs every time you decide to go out. I personally don’t mind that; hell! I even welcomed it as a good daily workout. But others might find it very tiring after spending the whole day walking among the streets of Paris.
Third, the apartment itself is very stylish but very very small. It can be physically challenging to get up that bunk bed so if you’re on your later years or if you just not that physically competent you will hate that bed. Again, I personally didn’t mind the size of the place nor did I care about the bunk bed.
Fourth. Many have described the streets of the neighborhood as getho or sketchy. I can see why people would feel that way. This is a region where immigrants from Africa are very prominent, so at first glance, if you’re biased, you’ll feel “unsafe”. However, I can honestly say that I felt safer there than I did in the heart of Paris where people are trying to pickpocket you and scam you! Just a general advice, don’t look like a fucking tourist and always act like you know where you’re going and it’ll be less likely for you to be targeted; this goes for the city in general.
Overall: the place was perfect for me! I love enjoyed the personal touches and the view. I didn’t mind the stairs, or the size, or the bed. I had a wonderful time in Paris and I’m so glad that I got to call Brice’s place my home for a couple of weeks.
