Really enjoyed our 1-week stay at Yves' place! We were staying at another Airbnb in Paris prior to checking in to Yves' apartment, and we really appreciated that Yves was able to accommodate our early arrival to drop off our luggage. We didn't get a chance to meet Yves, but his very kind neighbor helped us with the check-in and check-out process.
The apartment was much larger than what we had expected, which was such a nice surprise that we were able to sprawl out and really enjoy the whole space. The couch, bed, and dining table were large and comfortable... it made us feel at home. The beautiful Harman Kardon bluetooth speaker was a nice amenity that we enjoyed after coming home from a long day of exploring in the city. We also were able to do a load of laundry -- the machine was located in the kitchen and it had a dryer function as well. The kitchen had a nice large fridge, a Brita water filter container, and was well-equipped with the essentials when we decided to do a takeaway dinner at the flat.
The location was perfect! We loved being so close to the Saint Martin canal, and there were lots of great coffee shops and restaurants in the area. It was only a few minutes walk to several metro stations in the area (Jacques Bonsergent, Gare de L'Est, Republique).
We would definitely stay here when we visit Paris again.
