Mannick’s apartment is ideally located & was a good base from which to experience Paris to the fullest. We found the apartment clean, comfortable and accurately described on the Airbnb site. The photos posted to the Airbnb site are accurate and matched what we found upon arrival. As many have noted, Jean Christophe is a very accommodating host who was both helpful and personable. He did a walkthrough with us upon our arrival and explained what we needed to know before leaving his telephone #/e-mail address in case we needed help with something. Jean Christophe proved responsive as on the morning of Day 4, I sent him a message asking for more dishwasher detergent tabs (there was only 1 when we arrived) and additional ones were delivered later that same day.

The neighbourhood felt very safe even when walking back from the Eiffel Tower (10 minute walk) sometimes very late at night. The metro station is around the corner, the closest bakery is about 50 steps away, there are a few grocery stores 2 to 3 blocks away and there are a few cafés/restaurants close by. The only negative would be that due to being a ground floor apartment, there are frosted window coverings for privacy which cut some of the light coming in addition to preventing any view of the relatively quiet street in front. However, this was not a real concern for us as it did provide total privacy for the short time we spent in the front room as we were out exploring Paris most of the time anyway.

Overall, we had a very positive experience staying in Mannick’s apartment and would recommend staying there to others.
