We stayed in Nicolas' apartment for two weeks and really sunk into the neighbourhood! We think this is the best area of Paris for anyone who wants to see what the city is like away from the tourists. A truly diverse, happening, fun, cool place to be. Timbaud has spots to buy delicious groceries and supplies, Oberkamf has bars, restaurants, nightlife galore. And then you're close to everything else in the city you want to get to - either by foot or metro.
The apartment is spacious and the decor really makes it feel like a home. The flowers and the coffee and the inclusion of a ton of basic needs does really set it apart from other BnBs who don't seem to care about supplying that kind of stuff.
Nicolas was there to welcome us and is a lovely guy! Thank you for the stay! :D
