What can I say that has not already been said in many many reviews? First off, this was my first time traveling alone internationally. I was a bit nervous about the check-in process. I have had difficult times checking into places, or have had a lack of communication from hosts in the past, and I did not want to find myself stranded at the airport for hours waiting to hear from someone about meeting me to check in. All my worries were alleviated though by Yves quick responses after I landed. His communication is fast and friendly! He was able to let me check in much earlier than the listed check-in time because the previous guests were leaving early. I had a red eye flight and landed around 10 am. Being able to check in early was very helpful to me. His check-in instructions were spot on and easy to follow. He greeted me exactly when we had planned to meet. He was very friendly and nice. He showed me everything I needed to know to get in and out of the space on my own. The space itself was the perfect size for all my needs. The bathroom is very large for a Parisian bathroom! Everything was very clean and comfortable. I loved hanging out there at night relaxing with some wine after walking around the city all day. The location is one of my favorite areas in Paris. Right in the center of everything. A 2 minute walk to the Bastille Metro. There are restaurants, bars, cafes, tons of shopping just a step out the front door of the building. If you need anything there are grocery stores, a pharmacie, and many other places near by for all your needs. The apartment itself is further back from the street, so when you are inside it is completely silent from all the hustle and bustle of the city. I would highly recommend staying here and would stay here again the next time I go to Paris.
