Damien's apartment is perfectly located in an quiet backyard. It's close to 3 metro stations; Botzaris is literally round the corner, Place de Fêtes is 3-5 minutes walking distance and max. 8 minutes to Jourdain, so everything is very easy to reach. The studio is also located at Parc de Buttes Chaumont, the most beautiful park in Paris. You should not miss going there, especially in spring and summer! I recommend you to explore Paris by foot. All seems way more distanced than it actually is and you'll discover some very interesting little streets, cute corners, backyards and details (especially in Belleville, La Villette and Marais area) that you miss going by metro all the time.
The studio fits the needs for a short stay. Bed is comfortable and big enough for 2 people. Bathroom was clean. The kitchen is a small corner with very limited space, but contains most things you need. We been missing a sharp knife (to properly cut veggies etc.) and an additional big kettle, but cooking still worked out. Damien is going to improve the kitchen setting for future guests, he told us.
The communication with Damien was perfect and he always answered quickly. Check-In and Check-Out went well. Everything was very easy.
Except of a few details that need improvement, we had a good stay at Damien's apartment. I recommend you to stay here!
