Sébastien and Nina’s home is a true delight by living like a Parisian! You will feel quite at home because it IS their home and you are their welcome guest. The extensive (and I do mean extensive!) library and artwork were a wonder. I enjoyed discovering the little artful touches here and there.
We stayed during the hottest time of the year and, like many apartments in Paris, there was no air conditioning. For the vast majority of the year this is not an issue. You will hear the hustle and bustle of the restaurants down below, but with the windows closed it’s fairly quiet. The stairs leading to the sleeping areas are a little scary at first (narrow and steep), but we became used to them eventually. Probably not feasible for anyone with mobility issues, but my spry 80-ish mother was able to handle them with care.
Three bedrooms and two full baths is a rare find at this price. The bed in the main bedroom was quite comfy! The two single beds would be well suited for children. The people in our party are petite, so we fit in the beds fine. However, the smaller beds could be improved with a foam mattress topper.
Sébastien kindly checked on us a few times throughout our stay. He offered many suggestions on local restaurants, markets and such. Everything is easily within walking distance. The kitchen was well supplied. All in all it was a wonderful stay!
