I’ve found the apartment I’ll now stay in whenever I’m in Paris, honestly I could live at Yves’ place full time! It has everything you could need - washer/dryer, dishwasher, blender, proper espresso coffee machine - it’s a proper home not just a holiday rental. The area - right on the canal, is surrounded by cool places to eat and drink and is only a few minutes walk from Oberkampf/république/upper marrais and all their small streets with trendy new food places and proper vintage shops. I’ve stayed in le Marais, the latin quarter, the 6th, and now the 11th (where Yves’ place is located) is by far my new favourite. The balcony has some of the best views in Paris, insane at both sunrise and sunset. I’ve stayed in many many Airbnb’s in Paris, now I will want to book this one every time.
