This place is ideal for someone who is looking for a longer stay and who wants a less touristy taste of Paris. I stayed here for two and a half months. It’s not very big but it has some great features — equipped kitchen, washing machine, fast wifi for remote working, a dedicated workspace, lots of storage for clothes and luggage and a great location for staying put or for exploring the city. The windows face the courtyard so it’s pretty bright and quiet. The entrance to the building is inside a small alleyway through a password-coded gate from the street. The apartment is on the second floor (Europe) or third floor (USA / UK) and the stairs are a bit narrow. Garbage and recycling bins are in the front of the building and behind a green door next to the entrance to the building. Check-in and checkout communication was good with IntoParis.
The 13th arrondisement is often overlooked but I think it’s a gem with all kinds of ethnic restaurants and lots of supermarkets that are cheaper that in many places in central Paris. It is largely devoid of tourists so shops and cafés cater to residents more than tourists and that means you have to work a little harder with your French here. Lastly, I met some of the nicest people at the corner bar/restaurant Jolies Mômes, including the owner. The were very welcoming and their souris d'agneau is one of the best I've ever had. I liked this neighborhood so much that I'm planning to make it a permanent move.
