Jean Louis’ apartment was pretty much perfect.
Although very stylish we immediately felt comfortably and at home.
The bed was very comfortable. There is plenty of wardrobe and drawer space in the bedroom.
The bathroom is a good size with plenty of shelves and cupboard space and two mirrors. The water pressure in the shower was excellent and there was always plenty of very hot water.
The kitchen was well equipped and very clean.
The WiFi was very good and easy to connect to.
The apartment is in the fourth floor but the elevator is just about big enough for two passengers and two suitcases.
The area is fantastic. There are plenty of very good boulangeries, cafes and bars within yards of the apartment, and the metro station is literally feet away. We were in the centre of Paris in less than 20 minutes, and could easily walk to Parc de Villettes where we were attending a music event during our stay.
We met Jean Louis in person on arrival (although I understand he’s not often there). He was incredibly friendly and welcoming, showing us around the apartment and demonstrating how things work. His communication via the Airbnb app was truly excellent, both before and during our stay. He was very accommodating, allowing us to drop our luggage off early and arrival and to store it at the apartment for a couple of hours after checkout.
Jean Louis also informed us that there was a neighbour on the floor below we could contact with any problems or queries. He was kind enough to come up and introduce himself to us on the first evening and to visit again on the morning of checkout. We didn’t need to contact him at any other times as we had no issues at all, but it was very reassuring to know we could and that he was so friendly and accommodating.
All in all this was a perfect stay. I can’t recommend this property or Jean Louis as a host highly enough, and will definitely stay again when I return to Paris.
