Overall Pascal's place is fantastic for staying in Paris! I stayed here during a 6 week training course in June/ July and I had a great time.
The major positive features of the appartment are 1) location: it is very conveniently located in the heart of the 15th arrondisement on the left bank of the river Seine. 2 metro stations are only a 2-3 mins walk away - there is a taxi rank just around the corner of the appartment. Many shops, caffes, bakeries, restaurants are easily reachable by foot and there is a weekly streetmarket on Sundays on Convention road. b) the host: Pascal is extraordinarily friendly and helpful. He responds very quickly, is reachable and approachable and a real pleasure to deal with c) the appartment itself: it is layed out to host 2 people but the sofa in the living also doubles as a pull-out bed so up to four people can fit albeit things will get tight... there is ample room for storing your belongings, kitchen is fully equipped and functional and there are two large TV sets. The place is decorated in a modern and pleasant fashion. All in all a very practical place to stay!
There are two aspects which I think prospective travellers should keep in mind: as you can see from the fotos (which are fully accurate) the appartment does not have a window which you can open - the appartment is at street-level and there are double-windows to the street. The inner one is with tinted glass so no-one can look into your flat. You can open this inner window but not the outer window. I was here in the summer so there was always enough light but natural daylight may be a bit harder to catch in the colder months. Secondly, at the beginning of my stay there was a big thunderstorm with an extraordinary amount of rain (they said it was the equivalent of 40 days of rain...). The gutters of the building in which the apartment is located were not fit for this amount of rain and water got into the apartment. Pascal moved quickly to clean the apartment and also got the owner of the building to fix the gutters. It did not rain any more after this day during my stay so I cannot certify the problem has been completely eliminated.
In summary I really recommend this place and Pascal as a host. Good value for money! Thanks Pascal!
