TD HOUSE, Paris

TD HOUSE sits on a quiet side street within a lively, local neighbourhood packed with bakeries, supermarkets, cafés and restaurants - many within a 3-minute walk. The apartment is equidistant from two metro stations (lines 3 and 9), each roughly 5 minutes on foot, giving quick connections to Opéra Bastille, Pompidou Centre (2 km) and central Paris. The area is safe and well lit at night. Paris Orly Airport is 18 km away; using metro line 9 plus the Orlybus shuttle is the most straightforward route. Street-level attractions such as an ice-skating rink and the boating lake at Buttes-Chaumont are within walking distance or a short metro ride.

The apartment measures a generous size (around 70 m²) for central Paris, with tiled and parquet floors throughout. The bedroom contains a comfortable double bed, wardrobe and plenty of storage. The living area has a sofa bed (suitable for two adults or two teenagers), a flat-screen TV, a dining table and a seating area with a sofa. The bathroom features a walk-in shower and provides a hairdryer; bath towels are of good quality. The apartment is on the 4th floor with a reliable lift. It is well lit with windows overlooking the street, and the building's insulation keeps noise at bay despite the lively neighbourhood. Heating works well, and the apartment is warm in winter.

The apartment's well-equipped kitchen - with a stovetop, refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, electric kettle and cookware - makes self-catering straightforward, and several supermarkets (Carrefour), bakeries and grocery stores are on the doorstep. For eating out, the surrounding streets offer a wide variety: Le Beslay, Scaria, Jean Yves of Chef Jean-Yves' Table, Coq En Ville, La Cave de l'Insolite, Maison de la Poutine, Le Cafe Fusain and Le Manguier - all within 0.3-0.5 km, covering French bistros, casual dining and takeaway. Rue Oberkampf, known for its lively bar and restaurant scene, is a 2-minute walk away. The owners note that the apartment lacks a restaurant; the many nearby options mean dining out or cooking in is equally convenient.

TD HOUSE is a self-catering apartment without a pool, spa, gym or sauna. The neighbourhood compensates with a lively, safe street life and proximity to parks and entertainment: an ice-skating rink and boating at Buttes-Chaumont park are within walking or short metro distance. The 11th arrondissement is ideal for walking tours, with the Pompidou Centre (2 km), Place de la Bastille and the Marais district all reachable on foot or via metro. For those wanting to stay active, running routes along the Canal Saint-Martin or in Buttes-Chaumont are popular with locals.

Wi-Fi is available throughout the apartment at no charge and works reliably for streaming and video calls. A washing machine is provided for guest use. The reception service is handled off-site via the host and a nearby café: keys are collected and returned there, and an invoice is provided on request. The host speaks English and French, replies promptly to messages and can arrange luggage storage through a third party (nannybag.com) if needed. Housekeeping is not included during stays, but towels and sheets are of good quality and the apartment is supplied with cleaning basics.
