My boyfriend and I had an absolutely lovely stay in Gaspard's apartment.
Our plans changed regarding our arrival and departure times, but he was completely flexible. We couldn't have asked for a more easy-going host.
As far as the apartment itself, the location is ideal for those who want something slightly off-the-beaten path but completely safe and authentic. Great location.
The place was super clean, with a nice bottle of wine and espresso pods available. The best part about this flat is the natural light from the large windows (plus skylight). The bed is cozy and clawfoot bathtub well-maintained. For Americans worried about European-style showers, you will be set here. The fixtures are very good quality and easy to use.
The design of the flat is simplistic, modern but inviting. We loved it.
The only possible caveat would be the logistics of the narrow spiral staircase to reach the bedroom area. A bit tough for large suitcases, but completely expected.
Thank you, Gaspard, for a fantastic stay in Paris! We'll be back.
