Elegant Apartment with Buttes-Chaumont Park

Joffrey was a great host! Very responsive and accommodating.

Host was quick to respond. Place as described.

The accommodation has no window; it is certainly built in a former garage. As for the prestige qualification, there is the idea... but not the means. The bedding: good box spring but no proper pillows, no mattress protector, which is not reassuring. The air conditioning: there's no grille on the vents, and when you look at how the ceiling is made, you understand why we coughed so much.

The location was good; in between the airport and the center of Paris. A/C and heater worked perfectly. The bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchen were great. The place is on the "ground" floor, so no climbing stairs or elevators. There were two openable windows in the living room. The entrance to the building is a bit odd, but not a dealbreaker. Make sure you ask on how to properly lock the door. Had some minor issues but Joffrey responded immediately. There appears to be a great daily farmer's outdoor market down the street (on Rue des Lilas, past Rue Louise Thuliez) and it runs on sidewalk around the entire block....bring Euros). We walked around the neighborhood in the evening and had coffee and dessert at the "Santa Monica" pizza place behind the veterinary clinic on Rue du Lilas (hidden). Wifi and Netflix worked! It was a great treat to have cold bottles of water in the fridge waiting for us.
