I was very pleased with my 6 day stay at Frédéric's apartment. The check-in was easy, as Frédéric had someone let me in after about 10 minutes of my arrival. Since I had the building code , I was able to wait outside the apartment door.. The unit is on the 6th floor, but an escalator just outside the door was always quickly accessible. I was happy to have a one bedroom unit, after the studios (though pleasant) from my previous visits to Paris So, it is a reasonably roomy apartment with what appears to be an upgraded bathroom. l loved the French windows opening on the rear street, and the balconies were my favorite feature. The one off the living room is ideal for sitting outside with a snack. The location: a café and boulangerie are 2 minutes from your front door. About 8-10 minutes away is Place Gambetta where you find the Metro, busses, and many restaurants and other businesses. If, as I do, you enjoy visiting Père Lachaise, the rear entrance is about 5 minutes from Place Gambetta. I strongly recommend this listing , and I should add that Frédéric is very solicitous of the tenants and communicates any issues.
