Jean Paul and Florence's apartment is exactly as shown in the pictures. By Parisian standards, this is a very large apartment!
The lounge room is very spacious and there are two good sized bedrooms. Both bedrooms have roller blinds which are great and block out all the light. The kitchen is fully equipped with full size fridge, oven and a bar size freezer. The kitchen looks out onto a beautiful large tree and is large enough to eat meals in.
It was also great to have two bathrooms and a lift to the apartment on the third floor.
If you want to live like a local, this is the place for you. The area has bakeries, supermarkets, chemists, bistros and bars all within easy walking distance. Two metro lines (1 and 3) are only a few minutes’ walk from the apartment, as is a RER station.
Whilst we had some issues with the electricity during our stay, Jean Paul and Florence were very prompt to ensure the issue was resolved as quickly as possible. They also have great tips for local restaurants and bars, having lived in the apartment and the area for a long time.
There is road works at the moment in preparation for the 2024 Olympics, which was causing traffic disturbance, but this was not a problem in the street the apartment is situated in. The new tram track being built will be an attractive and convenient new mode of transport for the area.
Jean Paul and Florence were fantastic hosts and made us feel very welcome.
