LARGE 2 ROOMS IN THE HEART OF BUTTE AUX CAILLES (PARIS 13)

This lovely and spacious apartment is a find!! Although it is listed as a one-bedroom, which it is literally, the sleep sofa in the living room is exceedingly comfortable (according to my guests) and there is a door which can be closed making it, in the evening, a separate and private "bedroom." The beautiful bathroom and modern, well-equipped kitchen (with a washing machine!) are off a small hall leading to the actual bedroom, which also has a door. There is a marvelous little balcony where one can enjoy both the sun and the scene below. The apartment was immaculate when we checked in, and the host was extraordinarily gracious and helpful! He met us upon our arrival to make sure we were comfortable. The neighborhood, Butte aux Cailles, is utterly charming! Besides the interesting street art and cobblestone streets, for which it is famous, there are wonderful shops and restaurants. We became a regular at one of the best cheese shops in Paris, just half a block from the apartment. There is a typical outdoor cafe at the corner, and also both a produce market and a small-but-well-stocked supermarket nearby. Walking around the neighborhood was a joy and made us feel very "Parisian"! There are a few hills, but most of them are gentle and I, who walk with a cane, could easily navigate them. I wish I could give ten stars instead of five because both this host and this apartment deserve them!! If you have a chance to stay in this exceptional rental, I suggest you grab it!

I had a wonderful stay at this apartment in Paris for 5 days with my family and kids. The apartment was very clean and well maintained, which made our stay comfortable from the moment we arrived.The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed, making it easy to prepare meals during our stay, which was especially convenient while traveling with children.The owner was extremely friendly and helpful. They answered all our questions promptly and even provided great recommendations for nearby grocery stores and patisserie shops, which we really appreciated.The neighborhood felt very safe and pleasant for a family stay, and having a supermarket only a 5-minute walk away was very convenient.Overall, it was a great experience for our family, and I would definitely recommend this apartment to anyone visiting Paris.

Location is great and only minutes from good cafes and restaurants.Apartment spacious and as described. Host very accommodating. He waited late into evening to greet us.Looking forward to stay there in our next visits to Paris.

The flat is spacious and comfortable with good amenities. La Butte Aux Cailles area of Paris is charming and it is easy to get around. Unfortunately the flat is a little let down by the amount of dirt and grime in places and the dust covering various surfaces. This wouldn't be too much of a problem except the host 'invites' you to clean his flat on leaving. The flat is one to avoid if any in your party has strong opinions against the male gaze. There is a large nude plastic female torso on a wall which rather belongs to the last century.
