We held our family reunion during the Paris Olympics and were pleased to find this place that could accommodate us all (four families) for the full two weeks. The location in the 19th arrondissement is situated between the Botzaris and Jourdain metro stations in a lovely neighborhood right near a beautiful and huge park. We liked being out of the hustle and bustle of the center of Paris and in a quieter neighborhood. We rented the big house with four bedrooms, each with a double bed and an extra twin bed, and twin beds/couches in the basement with enough space to house 6 people (except it was a little musty even with the fans going so we only used it sparingly). We also rented the associated apartment (fourth floor walkup) with two bedrooms and enough beds/couches for 10 people. The landlord was very responsive and allowed us a very late checkout today at 4pm (usually 10:30am) which was very much appreciated. The main downside of the place is they use antiquated skeleton keys that are required to get in AND out of the main door of the building. And we only had 6 keys between all of the people coming and going. More than a few times we were locked out or in (scary in the case of a potential fire) and there's also a middle door that other tenants sometimes locked so again we were locked in or out. With so many people coming and going during the Olympics this was a HUGE drawback of staying at this place despite all the positives mentioned before.

When I previewed the location on Google earth I was a little worried - but I need not have been. A great family neighborhood with easy access to cafés, boulangeries, grocery stores and metro. Out of the door and right uphill takes you to the charming area of Belleville. Also to a 3x a week street market at Place des Fêtes. The metro from there is good for getting anywhere, though it can be crowded. Out to the left and down the steps takes you to a great café and boulangerie and to Botzaris metro. The green line easily intersects with other lines to get anywhere in Paris. The house and apartment are great - Aircon in every room and enough bathrooms for our family of 15..We had a bit of difficulty deciphering the settings for the ovens and dryer. Not a language problem, more a hieroglyphics issue! The host was extremely accomodating and responded very quickly to any questions. Highly recommended by a very satisfied group with ages ranging from 10-83. No one wanted to leave! Thank you!

Property was an older building as expected. Basement in main house is musty otherwise enjoyed our stay there.

We were a group of 13 extended family & stayed for 3 days. Well equipped unit, it was as described/pictured on listing. The only downside is that three of the bedrooms are located on the top floors of a 4 story block, with no elevator, so those would not be good for stair-adverse travelers. The main unit also is split into three levels (plus a basement) with all the bedrooms on the 2nd & 3rd levels. Very easy access to the Botzartis Metro station, only one block away, but again accessible via a set of 2 flights of stairs on the street (plus of course the stairs to get down into the Metro).

The main apartment is very well equipped with good living space for a large party, four comfortable bedrooms above with two good bathrooms, and a basement where teenagers can hang out (three of ours slept there). There is also a duplex with further bedrooms and bathrooms, accessed up some stairs from a public area within the building; two of our party slept there. It was an ideal base for our big family group of 14. The nearby Parc is great, and it is close to two useful metro stations. Highly recommended. The nearby Bar L'Escargot does good food and the staff are very friendly.

We had an excellent stay at the house. The bedrooms were great, the living area was perfect for a celebration or just hanging out. Great kitchen and utensils for a large group. The conservatory was great for large family dinners. There are 4 rooms in the main house with 3 beds each (double + single sofa in each) and a basement with 3 single beds. The other apartment is on the 3rd floor (no lift) across the court yard with 2 bedrooms 3 beds each (same as house) lots of steps. 3 bathrooms so worked well. A little dated furniture but worked out great. Would definately stay again. Great location not too far from metro, shops and lovely park.

This property was wonderful! Even better than the description on VRBO. There were 16 in our family group and we had plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms, 2 large places to gather, a great kitchen where we prepared breakfast each morning and a gorgeous sunroom/dining room. There was a market close by and well as convenient Metro stations. I can’t recommend this property enough!!!

Had a great time at this property with a group of 15 family and friends. Property had plenty of room spread out between two separate apartments. Main apartment provided room for family happy hours and dinners. Easy walk to taxi’s and metro stations. Air conditioning and cleanliness of place was great. Downsides of property: there is a cat that lives in one of the other units and urinates in the courtyard in front of the main apartment and if the door is open you can smell the cat urine. The other issue was on the lower level floor the people sleeping down there can here all the pipes flowing throughout the unit all night long. Very loud when they are trying to sleep. That being said…. this was a great value for the money and would stay again.
