Artist's loft with terrace in Paris. Charm, calm, ideal family.

The apartment is just as it appears in the photos, eccentric, eclectic, and cozy. Paul, your host is a wonderful person and could not be any better of a host. You are completely secure in that apartment and access through the two steel doors with your key fob is easy. Although we were there over the Christmas holidays, I’m sure the garden area is even more wonderful in the spring in summer. If you’re going to be there for a couple of weeks as we were and feel the need to rent a car which we are glad we did then parking is a bit of a challenge even in the parking garage. Commute time to where you want to be in Paris can be a little longer than ideal, but frankly for this country boy driving in Paris and looking at the sites of the inner city, even those aspects that were less appealing was part of the overall experience in short I’d like to step up and give a very high recommendation in terms of value, charm, comfort, and hospitality.

Paul is a lovely host. His home is very welcoming. The kitchen is full for all of your cooking needs. There is an area to relax and play games. The home is located near mass transit entrances. The community is very walkable with cafes, stores and restaurants. It was a wonderful home to be in while in Paris.

We stayed for two weeks and this spot helped make our full family experience-us, our kids, and their grandparents-of Paris wonderful. I would highly recommend it for a family experience. It especially gave our kids a lot of room to spread out and move and had many things to help keep them entertained when we weren’t out in the city, like a foosball table, toys, books, and interesting things to explore. It is also situated ideally for getting around both within Paris and around France. The neighborhood isn’t overwhelmed with tourists but all of the sightseeing hits are within very reasonable metro rides. The major gares are within walking distance making day trips outside the city easy (we went to Strasbourg and back in a day). Finally, there are lots of bike lanes around, including up and down the Canal St. Martin (which is beautiful and minutes away) making hopping on a Velib to explore simple and safe if you’re comfortable with protected bike lane urban riding. There are excellent neighborhood spots including boulangeries, groceries, and an organic grocery store and the kitchen is well appointed for a rental. We made a ha it of eating out one meal and cooking one meal each day and stopped in neighborhood cafes for apéro. Many buzzy spots that have gotten positive press are a walk or short ride away but still within the 10th arrondissement. Finally, as others have said, Paul is an excellent host who goes above and beyond, and is super friendly and responsive.

Amazing gem in the middle of Paris

Love ya Paul…as you know we had the best time. We loved your home soooo much. Your friend Bronte x

Paul’s place was a quirky and interesting we loved it. Paul is such an amazing host and was extremely accommodating, especially for those with mobility issues. One of the guests had a mobility scooter and an oxygen concentrator. The bathroom is downstairs but we managed to make it work. The only thing I did not like about the apartment was that was so warm and cozy we did not want to leave it to explore Paris. The terrace and floor to ceiling loft windows with all the plants made it so wonderful and meditative. We stood in on rainy day and ordered in. The atrium covering the courtyard allowed light while keeping the rain out. Overall, Paul was an amazing and accommodating host and the apartment ended up OK for my friend with mobility issue. We were able to get the electric scooter into the courtyard and in the apartment. I would definitely recommend staying here especially with Paul as the host. I loved the décor, the movie seat chair, the hot dog wiener dog pillow draft stopper of the door floor, the 3 barber chairs, and the plants inside were all so cute and artistic. Really do not have anything bad to say about the stay, apartment or host. Great time staying here.

This charming home was perfect for our group of 3 friends. It was an ideal setup for a week in Paris. Comfortable and spacious, with delightful artsy decor. Well stocked kitchen for cooking. And, the patio was our favorite! After a day sightseeing in crowds of tourist, we retreated to our peaceful outdoor oasis. Paul was a gracious and helpful host. A perfect find.

Our family of five, two adults and three teenagers, spent almost a week at Paul’s apartment. It was a perfect jumping off place for all of our activities. Close to 2 metro stops and a great neighborhood for walking around, shopping and enjoying a real Parisian atmosphere. The immediate neighborhood is not touristy, but the metro gets you directly to any museum or location in the city. You might want to go. Paul was an excellent host. Communication was easy and any questions we had about things like light switches or accessibility were quickly answered. Check in was excellent as Paul was able to have someone meet us at the entrance, Give us a tour of the house and make sure we were settled after our long flight from the US. The loft was perfect for a family with teenagers. It was very cool and there were enough spaces for all of us to spend time together and apart as needed. The only thing to be aware of is that there is only one toilet (though there are two showers) And one of the bedrooms is open to the main floor above, which means that a group has to be aware of sound and privacy, at times. This was no problem for us, but something to be aware of .Overall, we would definitely return. We had a wonderful trip in great part because of Paul’s hospitality and the amazing apartment..

The host was very easy to communicate with and provided excellent advice about getting around in Paris during the Olympics. On our last day he woke up very early to see us off to the airport. The property has everything you need for a visit! We highly recommend this property.

The host was communicative and helpful from the time of booking through check out. His home is wonderful and spacious and an oasis for tired travelers. A good family space and a good location close to markets and trains. I would go right back anytime.

The house is amazing after a heavy day of walking and seeing the sites you go back to your own little oasis away from all the hustle and bustle. there is a lovely bakery, right down the street where we spent a lot of money and thankfully we walked on all the calories. Paul is an amazing host and even a more amazing interesting person. He was delightful if I lived in Paris, I would be his friend. we stayed with two teens and we were two friends traveling, and it was plenty of space. beds were extremely comfortable and the apartment looks exactly the way it is in the pictures beautiful I would not hesitate to stay there again if I was lucky enough to come back to Paris! Thank you, Paul for the help getting in from the train station. You were a wonderful host and I wish you and your family all the very best in the future.

Located in a vibrant area of Paris, this is a super property for larger groups. Paul was a pleasure to communicate with as well!
