If you're looking for an authentic city stay definitely book here. The location is just a few minutes away from Gambetta so you can easily get to other parts of the city using the metro, and the immediate area has many great restaurants, boulangeries, boucheries, and grocery stores. On the weekend there is a fresh market a block away, and you are so close to Pere Lachaise and other green pockets of the city. Just on the corner is a wonderful new cafe called The Dancing Goat that is set to serve brunch fare shortly. It's a great place to sit and watch people pass by, there are lots of children and dogs in the area.
The apartment itself is situated on the 5th floor, which gives you a great calf burn and workout after a long day of trekking the city. The neighbours are quite pleasant, one even knocked to borrow a wine opener. When you open the balcony doors the sounds of the nearby apartments and the city trickle up, so you easily feel as if you are part of the festivities. On the flipside, this means that if you're sensitive to noise you may want to pack earplugs.
Sanche's apartment is so tastefully decorated, and throughout your stay you can easily get a sense of him and his lust for adventure and travel. The bed is comfortable and the shower has great water pressure. The kitchen is useful but don't expect to be able to do lots of cooking. There is a home security system that looks toward the door, so you can rest safe with the many locks. Super easy to self check-in.
I would've loved to test out the audio system and hook up the speakers to my phone, but unfortunately that wasn't possible. The space has a great energy, it's aesthetic and comfortable to live in, I especially loved the neighbourhood. Great hills for skating too! Would recommend Sanche's space anyone that is looking for a comfortable and local stay. If you are a germaphobe, I would suggest a hotel instead.
