This home was sparkling clean, modern and updated. The bathroom is gorgeous! Yannick and his wife were very accommodating, with coffee (Nespresso pods) fruit, juice, jams and tea (even maple syrup!) made available to guests. There are blackout curtains for those who need to get over their jetlag in darkness. The kitchen is also modern and gorgeous (we loved the Smeg appliances!); it’s not large but it is very efficient. Also fully equipped with all the dishes, dishwasher detergent, towels, etc.
Make sure you do your research on the area and the distance from downtown. We did a lot of biking (Velib bike rack is literally around the corner!) and the bike ride home at the end of the day is about 5 km (from the Louvre, for instance) -we love to bike, and ate lots of croissants, so this was a positive feature for us! The metro station is also about 50m from the front door; so handy! The Canals are really close by, and would be beautiful in the summer.
There is an extensive fruit stand down the street, and a delicious boulangerie downstairs. Yannick and his wife were very clear with their information about where to find things, etc.
If you are interested in the canal area in the XIX arr, we would heartily recommend this lovely place.
