We had a fantastic stay at Elsa and Bastiens place. The apartment itself is incredibly charming with lots of original features. Although it's a bit of a climb to the 5th floor it's certainly worth it, there are balconies surrounding the whole apartment so you have a wonderful view of the beautiful Parisian rooftops. It has everything you need to make the place home away from home and was very comfortable to come back to after a day roaming Paris. The bedroom was very cosy, we did come in the height of summer so it can get pretty hot but that's fairly normal for Paris, with the doors open you can get a lovely breeze which soon cools the place down (there's also a fan in the bedroom which helps!)
The area around the apartment was brilliant. You are so close to lots of boulangeries, restaurants and cafes. It's also within walking distance to some other lively areas, for example Marche de Bastille, Canal St Martin and Oberkampf, as well as being a stones throw away from L'atelier des lumieres which currently has an immersive Cezanne and Kandinsky exhibition which is well worth a visit.
Checking in and out was super easy and although we didn't meet the hosts, they were always on hand to message us and were very friendly. I'd love to come back and stay here again.
