I stayed at Julie's apartment for six weeks in the spring and it was perfect! The apartment is bright and beautifully decorated, it was super comfortable. As I was working during the days, I spent a lot of time in the apartment and the living room was a great space to relax and to work at the large dining table. The kitchen is well equipped with all the basics for making meals and the bathroom was awesome—great shower!
The location is perfect. There are a ridiculous amount of excellent restaurants, bars, bakeries, cafes etc. right outside the door and in the immediate neighborhoods, and the surrounding metro stations (Parmentier, Rue Saint-Maur, Goncourt and Oberkampf) made getting around Paris easy and convenient. The street below the apartment is very lively at night but the bedroom is in the back of the flat on the courtyard and I couldn't believe how quiet it was.
Julie is extremely responsive and kind. Checking in and getting settled were a breeze and when I had a small issue with the washing machine she had it fixed for me immediately. I was very grateful for her hospitality and for her wonderful flat. Thank you Julie!
