Sebastian’s place is in a perfect location, just 1/2 a block from the metro which we used daily to get around Paris. It is near to the supermarket, restaurants, pharmacies and many boulangeries. The apartment is in a typical French building, built in the 1700’s with 6 floors. Not only is the elevator so small, the stairs are also small, but definitely unique to our North American expectations, where everything is oversized. The apartment has 3 sleep areas, the living room, a bedroom and a loft. There were 3 of us ladies staying there and wanted separate sleeping areas. I, being the youngest stayed upstairs in the loft, there is no longer a futon up there, but a mattress on the floor. I didn’t mind that at all as you can’t really stand up fully in the little room. The stairs leading up to it is very narrow, so not ideal for anyone with mobility issues. I personally loved the privacy of the loft. The apartment was advertised as air conditioned, but only the living room area had the air conditioning. Being in the hottest room in the house I took the 1 stand up fan up there with me and slept well. We asked Sebastien to give us another fan for the master bedroom and he came the very next day with a brand new stand up fan. He had everything you needed in the kitchen, stove, fridge, microwave and kettle. When people leave, they leave whatever they don’t wish to take with them, so there was salt, pepper, sugar, seasonings, numerous little hotel shampoo’s and conditioners, laundry soap and fabric softener. We left 4 rolls of toilet paper. This is no luxury apartment, it is a very authentic and older apartment, but well worth the price for the location. We had such an amazing time in Paris, we were able to visit a different attraction everyday because of the close proximity to the Metro being very accessible. Loved our stay and would definitely recommend this place.
