Vincent’s place worked out really well for us. We loved the location, with a great choice of boulangeries, grocery stores, restaurants, subway, and bus stops nearby. Although small, the apartment had everything we could possibly need, including kitchen essentials, tiny but highly efficient bathroom with plenty of hot water and powerful water pressure, a strong fan, hair dryer, iron, flat screen TV on the wall, good WIFI, and even access to coffee, tea, and other basic ingredients.
Nighttime was dark, thanks to shutters and thick curtains, and as quiet as you can hope for in a big city. More importantly, Vincent was very responsive to any questions we had, even sharing a very clear self-made video of how to open and close the futon. The only drawback was that the apartment is on the 6th floor. But we knew that, of course, and we considered the climb part of the charm of living in an authentic and beautiful Parisian building and a great substitute for a far less interesting stairmaster workout at the gym.
Bottom line, we loved the place, considered it a great value little home during our six night stay, and would love to come back.
