Lovely stay in Sebastien's apartment
Our family of 3 enjoyed our 3-night stay in Sebastien's apartment. The location was great for us because it was near friends. It is a good location in general because it is a ~10-min walk to Place de la Republic, a major metro hub, with some pretty cafes along the way, and also close to Oberkampf and 2 other metro stations.
The place is just as it appears in the photos. The bathtub is a few feet from the main bed. There was plenty of hot water & the pressure was great. The beds were very comfortable. We loved having our morning coffee, from Sebastien's coffee press, at the kitchen table, enjoying the view of the Paris rooftops. From the apartment, we never heard any noise from outside.
The building entrance is in a wide alley that serves as an entrance for other buildings as well. On arrival, Sebastian met us on the busy, somewhat narrow street at the alleyway entrance. The alleyway has a very tall, wide metal door that is open all day. At night, when this door is closed, a code is required to enter the alley; then, you use an almost invisible person-sized door within the large right side to enter.
It is important to note there is no elevator in this old Parisian building and the apartment is on the 6th floor (7 levels, 120 steps). On arrival, Sebastien helped us with 1 of our 4 carry-on sized bags, but this would be difficult with large bags. Also, without bags, my wife and I (who hike a lot), had to pause at the 5th floor to catch our breath. Good exercise!
