Easy and responsive communication process throughout with this host. Chiara was flexible with our arrival and departure times and without asking, also helpfully sent us a short list of recommended restaurants/cafés. Thomas, Chiara's boyfriend, was waiting for us at the apartment when we arrived and walked us through the space; he also met us when we checked out, which made for a nice closure of our stay.
This bright, charmingly decorated and neatly presented second floor apartment (no lift) is in a lively district and convenient location (10th arr.) close to metro, many interesting cafés, restaurants, bars and shops, specialty food stores and two mini-supermarkets. It was great to come back to this private and secure place after a long day around town.
The apartment has consistent wifi, a comfortable, firm queen-size bed, and a hand-held shower with plenty of hot water and good pressure. Street noise is fairly subdued when all windows are shut, but nights are still quite noisy until early morning given the proximity to eating/drinking spots. The washing machine is positioned awkwardly behind a door in the tiny but fully functional kitchen so it's slightly difficult to access. However, these are minor inconveniences overall considering the location and apartment ambiance. Merci Chiara and Thomas!
