The apartment is eclectic with the owner’s art and collectibles surrounding you. A comfortable space. We were not able to use the balcony as there were two nesting pigeons taking turns incubating two eggs. Henri and Matilde would fly off in a fright and worry until we stepped back inside. The cigarette butts in the ash tray were not ours. Don’t think they were the pigeons either. The lift broke down the second day we were there, never to be fixed. Getting our heavy luggage down four flights of stairs at six in the morning (trying to be quiet) was a challenge when we departed. The best aspect of the apartment is the location, just a block from the Alesia Metro station. Lovely stores and restaurants very close at hand. A nice neighborhood.

Yvan's apartment was very clean, and very spacious -- & not just by Paris standards! The apartment had everything we could possibly need, and the internet connection was great. The neighborhood is more home-y and residential, compared to those in Paris's center. The stores are generally cheaper and friendlier. The area was close to the city center, about 15 minutes by metro train. We loved our stay, and hope to come back soon!

Four of our group stayed in this fantastic apartment which is situated right around the corner from the Alésia station of the Paris Métro--literally, you cannot get too much closer! It's a wonderfully quiet, peaceful location, with great shopping very close at hand. The owner is a terrific fellow who makes the whole process very smooth and easy. We would absolutely use his delightful place again for stays in the 14th, and recommend it highly to anyone!!

"The owner was very warm, friendly and accessible. The flat boasted ample space and remarkably convenient to the train station and stores. I could not ask for anything more, I was very happy with my choice."
