Chokri was a very responsive host, and gave us very clear instructions on how to find and access the apartment (we were running late due to significant transportation delays, so unfortunately we were unable to meet up with Chokri in person, but that thankfully did not prevent us from easily accessing the apartment once we did arrive). Checking out was similarly easy, and Chokri was always responsive whenever we sent him a message.

The apartment itself was nice, though there were some minor issues that should be addressed for future guests, consisting of minor maintenance and upkeep throughout the apartment. For example, the toilet seat was broken, so it kept shifting when being used, and the plastic covers for various electrical outlets were also loose or broken. Also, the apartment is a bit darker in person than it seems in the photos available online. This wasn't necessarily a huge negative, since the upside was that it makes for a very cozy place to sleep at night and well into the morning, but the apartment did feel less vibrant than the pictures led us to expect.

These quibbles took away from the experience a little, but the apartment was good in other ways, and we were generally able to enjoy our stay. The water pressure in the shower packed a powerful punch, and there was always plenty of hot water. The balcony outside was spacious, and although we didn't end up using it during our stay, the option to sit out on it was always a bonus.

The apartment is also conveniently located near a metro stop, and is a short distance to the Bastille metro stop, which provides access to additional lines. Because of this, the apartment served as a convenient home base for exploring most of Paris's major attractions, while being located in a neighborhood that is a little off the beaten path. For those who want to avoid the traps of all the touristy hotels closer to the city center, this apartment serves as a solid option.
