Elodie was a super host. Very quick in responding to any inquiries I had before the trip and was easy to work with checking in. We did not have any cellular service and she gave us tips on where to get free WiFi in the neighborhood and how to get to the apartment from the metro. We stayed 10 days and eventually ran out of toilet paper and clean towels and Elodie was more than willing to provide us more.

The apartment was as advertised. The photos are accurate. It is nicely furnished, the Wi-Fi was good, the bed comfortable. The kitchen was great - a fridge, stove top and dishes, silverware, glasses and cooking housewares. The bathroom was a bit tiny, not much space in between the toilet and sink and for a tall guy like me but I was fine with it. There was also not a closet to hang our clothes which we wanted to do considering the length of stay but we were able to make do.

The neighborhood is really cool. 3 metro stations within 10 minute walk. Very close to Voltaire which the 9 runs through and about 10 minutes from Bastille which has the 1,5 and 8 run through. Rue Sedaine is parallel to Rue de la Roquette which is filled with restaurants, cafes and bars. There is a Carrafour City less than a 5 minute walk for grocery shopping. On Sundays, the Bastille farmers market is also cool to check out on Boulevard Richard Lenoir in between the Bastille and Benguet-Sabin metro stations. There are some spots in the neighborhood with some vagrants and piss-smell. Would I recommend this neighborhood to my friends? Yes. Would I recommend it to my parents? No. I'ts also a bit far from the main attractions but I did not mind. It's close to Marais and Belleville which are two neighborhoods I enjoyed.

All in all, a wonderful airbnb experience.
