photographer/artist
Hi, i´m a german art photographer living in Paris and enjoying that a lot!
And as a side job i´m a passionate host ("superhost" even) on Airbnb, only happy when my guests are happy.
So i always do everything i can to reach that goal.
I´m very flexible time wise so will always meet you in person when you arrive and welcome you.
Looking forward to seeing you in Paris soon! Justin
We were the second guests to stay at this beautiful apartment in the heart of Le Marais. It is wonderfully located, within walking distance of many must see spots in Paris. The sun shines beautifully in the bedroom and in the kitchen/family room. Justin was a great host, and even left us some surprises in the house to enjoy. We would definitley recommend this apartment to any couple looking for a cozy and romantic stay.
February 2012Another great stay - really pleasant, and so close to everything. Thanks!
What a wonderful place to stay. Justin was the perfect host and very accommodating
My friend and I loved our stay at Justin’s apartment in lovely Le Marais, you couldn’t find a better location. Metro with line 1 just around the corner, 2 supermarkets, and great bakery with a lovely breakfast around the corner as well, lots of delicacy stores in the neighbourhood. The apartment is in an old house, very cosy and with a lift which it’s perfect. You need to pin cods to get in the building, so you feel very save. Justin welcomed us with a champagne, orange jucie and water.... More »
Spectacular location and ambiance. Beautiful and comfortable place. Great host! Great time!
PER-FECT!!! Great area. Great studio. Great host.
The apartment is perfectly situated in central Paris as it's close to many great bars and restaurants and the sights are easy to walk to. The space itself is cozy, clean, and comfortable. Justin is a great host who gave many recommendations and even checked in midway through our stay to see how things were going. I would certainly recommend this space to any friends who visit Paris in the future.
I had the most lovely time staying at Justin's flat in Paris and would do so again in a heartbeat! I did feel like a Parisian in a flat that truly became my home away from home. Justin was everything you want in a host - responsive, attentive to detail and providing information about what he loved about the neighborhood. It was perfect!
Justin's place is the perfect solution for a young couple, the apartment is exactly like in the pics and the view (directly from the rooftop!!) is really amazing! You have the whole city at your feet! The apart is stylish, modern, well furnished and has everything you may need for your stay! The bathroom is not to big but it's new and perfectly clean. The position is central and right around there are a lot of attractions, restaurants, bistros, shops, ecc. Last but not least, Justin is a... More »
A tasteful example of life in the 7th, this is a beautiful and peaceful location. Having visited Paris 4 or 5 times over the years we have stayed in a variety of arrondisements and accommodation styles all of which offer a unique insight into the City of Light. However this apartment is cleverly designed for maximum usable space whilst exhibiting artworks and books which highlight the cultural aspects of Parisian life thereby whetting your appetite for the daily and nightly adventures...

The apartment was great,clean and cozy in a really good spot!!although it was too many stairs-good practice for body-justin's studio it made our staying perfect! I truly recommend to others because we loved it! what's more, justin is the best hoster, really helpful with his maps and advices :)
The apartment is just as incredible as it looks in the pictures. It's clean, spacious, light and really comfortable. The kitchen is fully-equiped and we were provided with soft towels and sheets. The furniture is very well designed and there are great artworks hanging on the walls. Two down-sides: First is that the toilet is in a separate room downstair, while the sink and shower are in the bathroom upstais (but I was told that this is quite common in France). Second is that it isn't... More »
Really lovely apartment in a super central, convenient location. Gorgeous rooms all beautifully furnished with antiques, overlooking a private courtyard. So quiet at night -- we slept like the dead! Owner was very polite and helpful. You can really feel like you are a Parisian when staying here! Proximity to La Grande Epicerie is a HUGE plus!
Justin's apartment is a great place to stay in Paris. Charming, comfortable and a great location. I'd happily recommend to a friend. Booking process was perfect. Merci!
We had a great time staying at this beautiful loft over New Years. The loft is gorgeous, comfortable, and in a great location making it easy to explore the city while having the comfort of returning to a home after a long day. Justin was a great host and offered a heap of information before we arrived and upon arrival to the loft. We would highly recommend this loft to anyone thinking of staying in Paris!
The location is just incredible. The apartment is steps away from one of the best neighborhoods we could find in Paris. Very nice restaurants, bars, stores. The view is also unbeatable. You can walk to virtually all of the major points in the city while using the apartment as a platform. The apartment is very well equipped, and even though it faces a busy street (by the Seine river) it is VERY quiet due to the double windows. We were hosted by Betty (Justin was out of the country),... More »
This place has an amazing view. I was completely blown away! Justin is very nice and helped set us up. Clean, good location around lots of restaurants and convenience stores, close to the city center. My trip to Paris has been more memorable because of Justin's apartment.
It is a SPECIAL APARTMENT, with a very good taste decoration (as you see in pictures), it feels warm like at home. Fully equiped (nespresso machine incl.) The beds and sheets are very confortable, not the sofas!! It is located in the very inside of a backyard in a quiet neighbourhood. The apartment is perfect for 4 people, a bit tight for six. Traditional and convinient restaurant around the corner (rue babylon) and a useful small supermarket too. Dont miss "The Pagode" in rue Babylon, XIXth... More »
I stayed Justin's apartment 5 nights. Good Restaurant and Bar are near here. And Good Bakery and Cheese shop!!! Room is cosy and clean. View is fantastic!! I recommend to stay this room! Justin is Fantastic host! Thank you Justin!
Justin's description was spot on for this awesome loft space. He was a gracious host and my girlfriend and I really enjoyed staying here. From having all of the bases covered for our arrival to departure, he made everything a breeze and very carefree. Thanks again!
i made the reservation to Justin´s studio because i read the good comments of all you friends. we stayed at the Studio for a week and since the first moment we felt great. Justin is a great host. you can tell inmediately that he knows perfectly what a traveller needs. he help us at all times. Justin gave us a map showing the best places to eat, walk and all important things as landry or supermarket places. and the best: he gave us a movil so we could contact him any time. ( by the way,the... More »
What can one say about a week in Paris before Christmas. Fantastic. If you are palnning a visit this is the place to stay. Its a 2 minute walk to the latin Quarter with every type of restaurant imaginable. 5 minutes to Notre Dame. 5 minutes to Saint Germain. Purchase a Metro pass which is located one minute from your front door and all of Paris is at your doorstep. The accomodations are excellent without any complaint. The organization and communication are the best. The host met us on time... More »
Greeted by nice shoes, big glasses, warmth and friendliness. This place does what it says on the tin -- The studio is nicely renovated and clean. Lots of stairs, no lift. It felt like a classic week-in-paris story I've heard a thousand times. The view, however, is certainly *incredible*. Definitely stay here. Unless I happen to be in Europe around that time, in which case don't say here because I want to instead. The location is perfect too. Just pick this one, it's the best.
The place was exactly like it looked on the pictures. Location is great. Very well insulated so you dont hear anything when you are inside. Very glad we picked that place.
Single Female Traveler. Justin's flat was just as the photos indicated, including the wonderful reviews. I spent 6 nights there in November 2011 and I can report that the heating worked really well. As a woman traveling alone, I felt very safe in Justin's flat. The door has a good lock and it's easy to feel cozy and secure at the top of the building. Everything in the place worked really well, including the high speed wireless internet. The bed was comfortable and the shower worked... More »
Justin was a very attentive and responsible host. The apartment and neighborhood were great.
Great apartment and Justin was very helpful. Would highly recommend staying at this loft.
This place is amazing as are the hosts. The view across the Seine and over to Notre Dame is simply picturesque. Just around the corner (literally) you will find yourself wandering the quaint streets of St Germain where boutiques, patisseries, and restaurants abound. Need to get to Charles de Gaulle or Gare du Nord? Simply stroll across the street and hop on the train or metro. Couldn't be easier. The flat was spotless and well furnished with everything you could want. We were even... More »
We had a great time! The apartment is situated close to most of the places we wanted to visit, and there are great shops and restaurants within a couple minutes walk. You have to climb quite a few stairs to get to the apartment itself, but it's well worth it. The view from the rooftop is spectacular.
Live like a Parisian! Just got back from a fabulous week long stay here. Perfect location to popular tourist attractions yet in a very quaint residential neighborhood. If you want to feel like you live in Paris, this is the spot! Just steps away from tasty restaurants, shopping, florists and indulgences of the Boulangerie Patisserie!! Great location to metro stations as well. Apartments best feature was the quiet nights rest you get here as it is located thru two courtyards away from the... More »
Perfect place in Paris. The loft is as it looks in the photos and in a great location, very close to Bastille. Reuilly Diderot, next metro station, is just around the corner. Lots of restaurants and a nice neighbourhood make this location unique. It's away from all the tourist spots but it's easy to reach the citycenter in a few minutes. Our stay was perfect. Justin is a great host! Thanks for everything.
We had a great time at Justin´s studio. It was exactly what we were looking for: something off the common tourist track with more of a community feel to it. Before booking we did a lot of research on the neighborhoods and cost/benefit ratios in terms of location and apartment. This apartment exceeded our expectations and we were very pleased with the overall experience. The studio apartment is perfect for 1-2 people for any length of stay. It is equipped with a nice comfortable bed,... More »
Justin was a wonderful host and we couldn't have been more happy with the apartment. It ´s very stylish, clean, spacious, comfortable and secure and even better in reality than in the pictures. It has excellent facilities (great bathroom; free wi fi; Bose sound system, flatscreen cable TV, big roof-light ). The well-equipped spacious kitchen allowed us to shop at the amazing Marché Aligre farmer's market and cook for ourselves. It´s in a great area, close enough to all the touristic spots... More »
Just perfect!
My daughter and I had a great time staying in this cozy, yet modern apartment that had all the amenities that you would need to have a successful stay. Justin was a great host, showing us where everything was in the apartment and giving us some useful tips on what to see and do in the city of lights. One thing that we did appreciate immensely was that he provided a cell phone for use (all we needed to do was was buy some phone time at the nearby grocery store or telephone company). Another... More »
Justin is a fantastic host. He was incredibly prompt in replies both before and during my stay. He was really helpful and accommodating during my stay, pointing out local points of interest. The place was clean, comfortable and I’d stay with Justin again in a heartbeat.
Staying at Justin's place in Paris was perfect! This top-floor chamber studio is in a central location with everything within walking distance. There are Velib bikes right out front for your Paris bike rides. Justin is a great host and communicator. The apartment itself is a little tight but that just adds to the charm of the place. Be prepared to walk up some serious stairs, but once you're there, VIEWS!
Fantastic! I can't recommend this place enough, perfect for 1-2 people, great views of the canal, super comfortable bed, excellent location in the 10th arrondissement- good shops, great food within a stones throw (particularly chez prune, & Le Cambodge for excellent cambodian), + the best bakery in paris! Its also very convenient to the metro & within walking distance to the Marais. Justin was a great host, carried my bags up the stairs and provided me with a map of nearby attractions (and... More »
The apt was exactly as described. The apartment is in somewhat of the garment district. It was beautifully furnished and was exactly what i expected, a small but cute Paris apartment. Justin wasn't kidding about the steps, there are a lot, but it was fine. Justin also went out of his way and gave us a prepaid cellphone to use and a map of his favorite local spots. I would def recommend.
Justin received us promptly as agreed. His directions were accurate. The studio is exactly as you see in the pictures, clean, small but with everything that is essential. Consider six floors of stairs if you have any difficulty walking. The location is good but a little bit far from the major sights. There is a metro station is only 5 minutes from the studio that makes everything closer. It is a good place to stay for a good price in Paris.
We had a wonderful time in this apartment. It is exactly as depicted in the photos. Justin helped arrange everything ahead of time, and the owner gave us a very gracious welcome. The owner also adjusted to our changing travel plans, going above and beyond our expectations. The apartment is quiet with the double windows closed, yet it faces right on to the Seine, and is steps away from a major metro and train stop. We took the train (RER B) to and from the airport and the east-west line... More »
We had a memorable stay - We were able to walk most anywhere in the heart of Paris from this location. Justin was quite eager to meet any needs we had. The 7 flights of stairs aren't that bad if you're in good shape - the 360 degree view of Paris is wondrous, though it requires you step out onto the roof - good luck! - I most often made due with the sight of the Sacre Coeur by leaning out of the kitchen window. If you're with a companion be prepared to find space a bit of a challenge - the... More »
The apartment was amazing and Justin was a great host! When we arrived he had wine and snacks ready for us, gave us maps & great advice about Paris and also his personal mobile number if we needed anything. We have already recommended Justin to our friends and will continue to do so!
I would highly recommend staying at Justin's place if you have the opportunity. The location is fantastic - a half block off of a metro in the Marais and great restaurants, bars and historical buildings within walking distance. The amenities are excellent. The loft is very spacious and the view of the rooftops is enchanting. Windows offer a lot of light. Street noise is present at night but closing the windows will help this if it bothers you. The spiral staircase is a climb and may... More »
My girlfriend and I had a fantastic 10 day stay at Justin's top-floor apartment. While tiny by North American standards, the place had everything we needed: a comfortable bed, a modern bathroom, and a small, but well-equipped kitchen. Oh, and did I forget to mention the stunning birds-eye view of Paris rooftops, Centre Pompidou, and of course the beautiful Eiffel Tower? With its amazing location, Justin's place will be an easy choice next time we're in Paris. Merci, Justin!
Host was wonderful but I must admit was underwhelmed by the apartment for the price ($379/night). It was comfortable and in a nice location but smelled like smoke and was very loud at night because it sits above a bar. Did have an excellent view however. Also appreciate the host letting a check out later in the afternoon. Overall okay.
Justin is a great host. He replied to all our messages promptly and waited for us in front of the apartment even if we were more than an hour late due to a flight delay. We asked to extended our stay for an extra day and he just asked us to leave the extra money on the kitchen table, no hassle. Canal St. Martin is an upcoming neighborhood with lots of good restaurants, bars and shops but not yet crowded with tourists. Justin gives every guest a map with the cool hangout spots in the area,... More »
Justin was an incredible host. When we arrived in Paris, he met us at the front of the building and helped carry our luggage up to the apartment (the walk-up was daunting at first, but by the end of the stay it didn't phase us at all). He had lots of suggestions for our stay and even provided a map of his own. We asked where we could buy an adapter for my wife's hair dryer and gave us some money to buy a hair dryer for the apartment. The apartment is really close to a fantastic strip of... More »
My girlfriend & I stayed in Justin's "Artist Studio" for 5 nights. Justin was a great host and went out of his way to make our arrival easy. We appreciated all the small touches he has made to the apartment to make his guests feel welcome and comfortable. We loved this hip neighborhood and found it a very convenient location to explore Paris. We really enjoyed being able to escape the crowds and tourists at the end of a day sight-seeing day and return to the chill St Martin neighborhood... More »
Justin was extremely thorough and helpful throughout the whole booking process, including our arrival to Paris. The apartment was centrally located and we were able to get the metro easily to places that were a bit too far to walk to. We really enjoyed going up on the roof (through the dining room window) for a great view of Paris. It appears we had incompatible computer/ WiFi (perhaps it was our computers as we had experienced it in Brussels too) but the McDonalds up the street had free WiFi... More »
We had a wonderful stay. Justin, thank you for everything!
We had a nice stay in the apartment, which was exactly as described. The location was ideal for us and the neighborhood had lots of interesting restaurants and cafes. Justin was an excellent host and generously shared his knowledge of the area when we arrived.
Tout simplement parfait! My partner and I spent four beautiful days and five cozy nights in Justin's charming apartment. His design sense is chic and inspiring and his home makes for a perfect getaway. Do not hesitate to snag this incredible place!
Justin was a great host. We stayed for six nights to end our two month stay in Europe. We were very tired when we arrived and he was very welcoming and helped us carry our heavy bags up and six floors. The neighborhood is close to four Metro stops and it made it easy to move around the city. We would definitely recommend Justin's apartment to our friends and would stay again on our next trip to Paris! Thanks, Justin!
Justin's place was perfect for what we needed. It had everything you would need for a short stay in Paris. The location was great too, close to the metro and the beautiful canal. I would definitely stay here again.
Justin greeted us at the entrance and offered to carry our suitcase for us. When we reached the apartment spiralling up the beautiful wooden stare case, I was very glad I took his offer. He showed us around the flat, gave few tips and described the neighbourhood. Through the little balcony, over the rooftops he then pointed to various streets below giving us directions to the local amenities. We found the information precise and useful. The location is fantastic. The interior was bright... More »
Justin was a great host. He provided all the things that made the stay in Paris comfortable and relaxing - everything from orange juice to soap to an Orange cell phone (yep, a cell phone!). The room was great and featured an amazing view to come home to after a day of sightseeing. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend one of Justin's apartments to anyone!
Great place to stay. Wonderful view. Very convienent to the Metro, to restaurants and to the whole Latin Quarter. Host was great. No complaints. Would stay there again.
This was my first experience with airbnb so I was a little apprehensive but no need to be. Everything was just as Justin described. The apartment is very comfortable and absolutely everything is there for you. It was a very hot week but the windows open up to give a good breeze and when closed the apartment is very quiet even with all the restaurants around. The area is great and the almond croissants at the boulangerie on justin's map are the best I've eaten!
I loved staying in Justin's very Parisian apartment. It's decorated simply, but very stylishly, with an amazing view of Le Marais. Justin was there to greet me, and even helped me with my rather large suitcase up the five flights of stairs. The stairs are many, but not too steep and fairly easy to climb, and worth the view from the apartment. The kitchen is small, but very well stocked and Justin even invited me to use his vast collection of spices. There's a very convenient market... More »
I HIGHLY recommend Justin . The apartment’s owner canceled our reservation 15 days before arrival, but Justin was extremely responsible and found out another one for us. It was a great apartment, clean, charming, very well equiped and for free, a beautiful park right in front with a waterfall and a metro line just in the corner. My husband and I enjoyed our stay there; we had a lovely time in Paris. We would definitely look for him again in our next visit to Paris.
Great apartment close to tranport and really easy to get too, had a great stay would love to come back!
The studio near Canal St. Martin was everything I could ask for: in a great neighborhood, cozy, quiet, convenient. The tiny balcony is perfect, and there is even a small library of guidebooks and magazines for guests. Many wonderful places nearby to spend a lovely evening. I recommend it!
This is a fantastic place to stay in Paris. It is conveniently located a short, three-minute walk from the Bonne-Nouvelle and Strasbourg-St Denis metro stops, and just a few blocks from Montorgueil in the 2nd arrondissement (probably 5 minutes, tops). The apartment itself is comfortable, immaculate, and sunny. It is not large-- no apartments is Paris are-- but it is not cramped by any means. Justin has provided cooking utensils, an iron, a vacuum and cleaning supplies (just in case), and... More »
This flat was so convenient to stay... Very close to everything including the metro. We really enjoyed the spacious and clean flat. The owner was very kind to let us use anything we needed and even greeted us with a bottle of champagne! I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a fabulous place in the heart of Paris.
Great location, small but charming place. Everything went very smoothly, Justin always replied straight away and took great care. Highly recommended.
Great apartment with amazing views. Complete with everything needed for a wonderful stay. The owner was very friendly and helpful. We would certainly recommend staying here. It might though be very warm in the height of summer, though for us it was perfect. Thanks once again to Justin for making the whole process so easy.
L'esperienza è stata molto piacevole. Justin è una persona molto gentile e disponibile, la casa è bella ed ha un bellissimo panorama sulla città. Il solo lato non positivo è lo stato dell'edificio e le scale scrostate, che danno un'immagine non curata e triste dell'edificio, mentre l'appartamento è in buono stato e ben arredato. Comunque un'esperienza positiva. Bruno
The host canceled my reservation 13 days before arrival.
The apartment is located in a very beautiful area, very bright and is equipped with everything you need Communication with Justin and the owner for check in / out is fine Sure we go back!
Justin was a fantastic host. He gave us wonderful tips on where we should go in the neighborhood. Great location. We would definitely stay there again. Thanks Justin.
Nice unit, excellent location.
The apartment was as described, communication throughout with Justin was prompt and helpful. He made arrangements for his friend to greet us in his absence. We enjoyed the experience and the price was right.
This apartment was such a charmer it made our stay in Paris so special. We'd absolutely stay again it was an experience not to forget!
This flat is perfect for your first or 50th trip to Paris. It is a short walk to many of the sights and there are many small streets nearby to just explore. It is a wonderful 16th century building and the flat is quite large with all of the necessary modern amenities and a proper shower. You have a wonderful view of the Siene and Notre Dame. The host was lovely as well. The only drawback I can think of is that there is no air conditioning, but not manyplaces have it. I would definitely stay... More »
My husband and I found Justin's place relaxing and you can't beat the location and, of course, the view. Although the kitchen is tiny, it has everything you need to cook a great breakfast and get going. I wouldn't try cooking anything more involved than that though, but that's what the cafes and restaurants are for. The proximity to Rue Montorgueil is amazing for dining at all hours. The shower wasn't the greatest and the toilette is a little close to the bathroom door, but these are minor... More »
Great location ( u can save a lot of money for subway ), superb host, cosy but well equipped studio!!! would recommend to everyone.
Justin was the perfect host. he was reserved in a very agreeable way, but he also offered his help and advices. the booking was quite uncomplicated, because justin answered fast and gave us all important information responsibly. the studio is located in the heart of a wonderful region. within a few minutes you're at all the famous spots of paris. you're always able to return shortly to relax or to carry smth.. in the evening we enjoyed the sunset at the pont d s arts ( just five minutes by... More »
The apartment was great aswell! Very nice location in the heart of Paris... And the view... We could have gazed over the rooftops forever! The stairs was quite the climb (top floor), but it was worth each one of the 139 steps! :) Justin was a really nice guy and agreed to meet us at the apartment despite the late arrival. Very kind indeed! I recommend Justin and his place warmly! THANKS JUSTIN!
My wife and I stayed in Justin's studio from 4/17-4/20/2011. This petite-chic studio really makes you feel like you live in Paris. The Canal Saint Martin neighborhood is THE PLACE to be - and you're right in the heart of it. The nearby Republique metro makes it really easy to get ANYWHERE in Paris. If you don't want to be a typical "hotel tourist" in Paris, this is the place to stay. Additionally, Justin is a class act host. He's incredibly responsive on email, and goes the extra mile to... More »
Its a great place and a great area in canal st. martin. enjoyed my time there.
My boyfriend and I had a great 8-day stay at Justin's apartment in mid-April 2011. First, I would say this is actually a 1 bedroom apartment, not a studio. It is small, but not cramped - a typical size for Paris I think. The bathroom is pretty tight for a larger person (my boyfriend is very tall), but again, it is normal sized for Europe. Everything was exactly as Justin promised and worked (wifi, towels, bedding, pillows, stove, washer, etc), and there were many nice touches that... More »
Justin was a very nice and attentive host, I would book with him again next time I am in Paris.
The perfect place.
The appartement is great and completely/nicely equipped, very well located (close to St Germain, to Montparnasse, to the Seine) with a wonderful view on the roofs of Paris and of the streets around, we can even see the Bon Marché from the balconies, where you can have a drink. Justin was nice and flexible, I really felt good when I arrived at the appartment. I wish I could have stayed longer...
We loved Justin's cozy apartment and the wonderful neighborhood! We ate at local restaurants every night (our best meal of our trip was at a restaurant you can see from this apartment's balcony!) and really enjoyed this residential area. As a host, Justin couldn't have been better. When we arrived in Paris, he met us at the apartment and told us about nearby restaurants and boutiques. He made us feel very welcome and at home. The apartment was clean and had everything we needed for... More »
Justin was an outstanding host. He was always readily available and extremely helpful with every request. Thank-you Justin!
This apartment in the 6th is in the perfect central location for those interested in exploring most of Paris on foot. The neighborhood itself boasts both Michelin-starred restaurants as well as excellent cafés and shops, and is just a block from the St. Michel metro stop. The views of Notre Dame, the Louvre and Pont Neuf are just outside your window. The apartment has an abundance of convenient appliances that made our stay very comfortable such as a washing machine, dishwasher and coffee... More »
I would definitely stay here again! This apartment made my short weekend in Paris all the more unique and wonderful. I loved walking through the building's long, quiet courtyard, full of interesting sculptures and windows. This apartment is the perfect place for artists or creative types who are not looking for a pretty, manicured bourgeois apartment. It's cool, funky, and original, and it's located in a diverse, interesting neighborhood. The studio is bare bones, but it is full of... More »
Justin was a wonderful host and the apartment was exactly as billed - charming, clean, very central, yet quiet. A really fantastic place to spend a few nights in Paris!
What an awesome place, in an awesome location, from an awesome host! He even helped us carry our bags up!
this simple, small studio in a typical old parisian house, in the very nice neighbourhood of canal st martin, is good for one person or a couple. 6 stairs, no elevator during 8 days was a very good exercise for my legs. The host, Justin, is a very nice and helpful guy.
we liked the flat very much. Justin is a very helpful anf cheerful person. Flat is in super situation, in the heart of st. germain.
Perfect little flat in great neighborhood with super Velib and Metro access. Justin was a really welcoming and attentive host.
Small but great place. Justin seems like a great guy as well. He's my go to man when I visit Paris and need a place to stay.
The apartment looks just as promised, Justin was wonderful and really accommodating, we felt really welcome and right at home. This is definitely the way to visit Paris and this apartment is the perfect base as a home away from home! Will be back for sure!
We had a great time in this apartment! It was very clean and cosy when we moved in. Also, the metro station is literally 3-5 minutes away from the apartment, and it was very easy to get to/from there from both Gare de Lyon and Gare du Nord. It was also within pretty good walking distance of all the major landmarks. Although my friend and I only spent 3 days there, we were able to see Notre Dame, Sacre Coeur, the Eiffel Tower, Versailles, and Montmartre. The area around the apartment is... More »
We had a fantastic stay at this apartment. Would LOVE to stay here again and again...
This was my first experience using Airbnb.com and it could not have been anymore positive. Justin was very responsive via email answering all my inquiries even over the holiday! We had an overnight flight into paris from LA, so we ran into the guests leaving from the night before (the people from the review below) - after a short exchange in the hallway we were warned that the apartment was "filthy" - now filthy is quite a strong word that I don't use lightly, and the apartment was nothing of... More »
When we read the review, we interpreted the space as having 1 1/2 baths. Instead, there is a toilet and then, through what is called the second bedroom---actually an uncomfortable futon---, is a small tub with a hand held shower plus a decent-sized sink. The apartment was minimally clean. The first thing we did was clean the bathroom.
Justin was a great host and helped by sending directions to the studio from the airport. The apartment is just as pleasant as described in the posting (including the long walk up the staircase mentioned in other reviews)- beautifully decorated, clean, and comfortable. We'd definitely stay here again!
We really enjoyed our stay here - the apt was clean, cozy and homey and in walking distance to lots of different sights and restaurants. Everything looks exactly as in the posted pictures and the owner was very friendly and helpful. We would definitely rent the apartment again for our next Paris visit!
We had a wonderful stay at Justin's studio. Great area. Away from all the tourists. Truly live like a Parisian. I would absolutely book this studio again. Thanks Justin!
Apartment was wonderful...kitchen is well furnished for cooking, the living room is lovely with great views of the river & bridge below and the bedroom was spacious. Location was better than described...essentially on St. Michel, steps to the metro and just a few minutes from Notre Dame. I would certainly stay here again, although I'd probably stick to just two adults or two plus kids. We had 4 adults (my parents, myself & husband) and the sofa bed was not so comfortable for two people. ... More »
We had a great stay in Justin's flat. The apartment was really spacious and nicely decorated, warm and inviting. No complaints from us - I definitely recommend the flat and Justin as a host!
Lovely place to stay close to all the shops in St. Germaine. Justin is a great host.
The apartment is in a perfect location and is equipped with everything you might need. Justin has been a wonderful host, reliable and helpful. I would definitely recommend it. Thanks Justin!
Justin is most probably the best "host" we have ever dealt with. Right from the time of the booking to the day he met us on our arrival, the communication was faultless!! The apartment is in amazing location with only a few minutes walk to transport, bakeries and brasseries. All the mod cons are supplied from satellite TV (not that you need this in Paris) and even wireless internet access. Thank you Justin and we look forward to staying with you again!!. George (Australia)
very quiet, perfect little studio, in a perfect area Justin is a very nice person. you can be sure that everything will be easy with him
Justin is a terrific host: very responsive and considerate, always ready to help in any way. He even provided the coffee pot that was needed, along with a charming gift of delicous chocolates! Extra points right there. We are frequent visitors to Paris and this was our first time with AirBnB and we were very impressed by the consistently professional behavior. The flat was as photographed: spacious, light filled and comfortable. The neighborhood is the best, with excellent Metro... More »
Extremely available host!! Justin made sure everything worked out, from my late evening arrival to information on local hotspots. The location of his place is in a great area right off the canal with quick access to metro stations. The place is small but all amenities needed are covered. The six story walk up is good gauge for your state of health!!
I have nothing but good things to say about the apartment and the host. First is the location...Fantastic!The best you can get!The apartment has everything you need and more....And what made our trip to Paris even nicer was the host. Thanks so much, and I would not hesitate to stay there again. Marcio Trad
Terrific place and location, even better than photos suggested, and Justin was a stellar and detail-oriented host! I've already recommended the apartment to friends and would definitely come back again. Merci!
Justin was wonderful to work with. The apartment was clean and exactly as described. Justin was very responsive. We arrived late, but that wasn't a problem. I would definitely recommend booking with him.
enjoyed my stay in justin's flat. he let me stay a little extra longer on my last day because I had a change of plans. super thankful for that.
fantastic apartment, justly described, clean, well supplied. Great 10 days, great price. Justin was very attentive and helpful.
We'd definitely stay here again. The apartment was just as Justin described it: small in a good way, very romantic, very Paris. The stairs were not a problem (we practiced counting to six in French!), the shower was great, the kettle boiled water in seconds, the bed was comfortable, and, most importantly, the location was absolutely perfect. Justin helped us negotiate our first AirBnB experience, he replied promptly to questions we had beforehand, and he is very professional and kind. Don't... More »
Everything worked out well. The Notre Dame (Quai des Grands Augustins) apartment was in very good condition. Modern bathroom and kitchen, good lighting, internet worked well, the sofa bed was comfortable, etc. Location is great, right on the Saint Michel Metro stop.
The apt. is a SMALL, bohemian-hippyish place. Mattress on floor, sparsely furnished, and 7 floors up, via a narrow spiral staircase (no lift). It is well located, near the Gare de l'Est.
Our arrangements in booking the apartment and meeting the first day were professional and according to our agreement. The apartment was exactly as represented and we received what we anticipated.
Very quick response from Justin and very helpfull. The apartment was just perfect for our needs, it is close to everything and only 2 min. walk from the metro and in the middle of the city, shops and cafes. I highly recommend staying here at the SaintGermain apt. Due to the strike Justin helped us to pre-order a taxa which was much appricated, once again thank you! I had never booked via airbnb before, but all the positive reviews I gave it a try - will for sure use it again. Kind... More »
We stayed in the Richerand apartment. The apartment was small, as described, but it was fine for a couple and the neighborhood was a fun place to be. Justin was helpful with suggestions for dining and shopping in the area.
We stayed in this 6th Arrondissement apartment for the first week in October. 2010. First, let me say the location is stellar. We were able to shop at the Raspail market on two days, and the closest supermarket was only minutes away. We were also able to walk to many sights, cafes, and parks. The apartment is just as described on the site. The small kitchen was well equipped (more pot tops though, please), as we were able to cook most meals for ourselves. The high speed internet was...

We are a retired couple who have been to Paris many, many times. This was the first time we stayed near Republique and we very much enjoyed the experience of apartment living in this trendy area. The apartment is well furnished and equipped and Justin was a gracious and informative host. It is located off a courtyard away from the street and is quiet. We had no problem with the stairs, but you must be prepared to climb 4 short fights of stairs (no elevator). We would happily return to... More »
An excellent apartment just right for our needs. We enjoyed the proximity to the wonderful sights in Paris as well as the great variety of dining options within walking distance. I'd recommend this for anyone needing a two bedroom place.
Justin was very helpful, providing quick responses to emails. The apartment was very comfortable and clean. Was located on a 5th floor walk-up. Shower water temperature was a bit erratic, but the large kitchen and sitting area were great to relax in. Laundry machine available, as well as stove and microwave.
We stayed at the apartment on Place Michel Debré for two weeks in Sep 2010. The killer feature of the apartment is its location. Poilâne is a minute's walk away, Pierre Hermé is about five minutes away, and ... well, what else matters. The apartment is good sized by city standards, and all amenities are as described. The well equipped kitchen allowed us to shop at the Blvd Raspail farmer's market and cook for ourselves. Sounds of the city do filter in to the living room and the smaller... More »
We really enjoyed our stay on Avenue Richerand. The studio was very clean and comfortable. The view from the window was fantastic, and the neighborhood is so charming. Justin was a great host.
Justin responded to my request very quickly. I stayed at a loft by Canal Saint Martin which is spacious, beautiful and great location. I love many cafes and restaurants in that area. I highly recommend les enfants perdus where the food is yummy and generous portion and the staffs speak English. The internet connection is a bit of problem, but the owner managed to make it work for me. I hope to come back one day.
Justin was very helpful during our recent trip to Paris. He made sure the owner was there to let us in and show us the apt as soon as we arrived from the airport. He responded immediately to all communications with helpful information, and was completely understanding when we were unable to call him prior to leaving because of a problem with our cellphones. I would definitely book with Justin again.
We enjoyed our stay on Rue Rene Bolanger. The flat was cozy, yet spacious with a terrific central location. Justin was terrific. He was helpful, accommodating and friendly. Thanks Justin.
Great location. Obviously a bit loud being on Rue de Rivoli (bring ear plugs to sleep). Very comfortable bed. Apartment is a great size, with separate kitchen and bedroom areas. Hostess was very nice and dependable. Only complaint was the apartment's lack of cleanliness.
Great place. Great location. Super nice host. Would definately stay again!!! Thanks Justin!
The host canceled my reservation.
The apartment (SaintGermain) had a great location and a beautiful view. Justin met us on the first night there, gave a tour of the place. We were both impressed with the simple yet tasteful decor of the apartment, and on top of that, Justin was both informative and courteous. We had a great experience staying there for 4 nights. The only thing that bothered us was the slight rumbling that you can occasionally feel at night. We think it's the subway nearby. (It took me few rounds to... More »
we had a great time at Justin's place which is perfect for a short stay, really clean, good futon, brilliantly located for metro, walking places and in a very cool area. Check out the very nice bistro on the corner and cafe prune. We didn't meet Justin but he sent his friend to meet us which was really thoughtful. He also provided maps wrote very nice emails and was really quick to get back to us Great value, nice studio, smashing!
Wir (Paar, Anfang 30) haben 5 Tage in Justins Appartement verbracht. Die vielen Treppen bis in die Wohnung sind nichts für Sportmuffel, aber der Ausblick über die Dächer entschädigt für alle Anstrengungen. Das Appartement selbst ist klein, aber unserer Meinung nach sehr gemütlich - mit alten Holzbalken an der Decke, Laminatboden, einer kleinen, gut ausgestatteten Küchenzeile und einem schönen Schlafzimmer mit bequemem Bett. Das Bad ist sehr klein und duschen ist aufgrund des geringen... More »
Wonderful views, central to everything left bank, cool glass elevator, comfortable bed, lots of space!
Justin was a wonderful host and we couldn't have been more happy with the apartment. Justin was prompt, professional and courteous in our correspondence and he went out of his way to ensure that our stay was comfortable. I can't recommend him highly enough!
Justin replied to all of my emails very quickly, answered all my questions, and was very helpful. The studio (the light artist studio in the 10e)was just as described (small, but adequate) and well set-up for us. Thanks, Justin!
Apartment exactly as described, with many plusses such as an excellent cross-ventilation, amazing light exposure, and of course some little nice touches (espresso machine, DVD library,...) Personally Justin exceed all our expectations, extremely professional!!!
Great place, very nicely and artfully decorated, great welcome. I'd come back any time. Highly recommended.
Justin was an absolutely fantastic host! Our Eurostar was delayed and he happily waited for us to arrive at the apartment. He told us all about the area around us and was even kind enough to draw us a map with all his favourite restaurants which just made the experience even better (the restaurants were amazing too!). The apartment we stayed in was absolutely beautiful. The photos didn't do it justice...we felt like we were living a movie-star lifestyle! When our amazing trip came to an end,... More »
Justin was very thorough in his communication, which helped a lot. The apartment may not be the biggest but what it may lack in size it makes up for in style, location, quietness and of course the amazing view. Highly recommended!
I stayed in Paris for 5 days and rented this apartment from Justin. It's a really cute and romantic apartment with a beautiful view over the roofs of Paris. I would definitely recommend this apartment for everyone who would like to go to Paris for a few days.
Justin was an amazing host and very communicative and helpful. The apartment was in a great area and very stylish, clean, spacious and comfortable. I hope I can stay there again next time i come to Paris. Highly recommended!
We stayed in this studio during one of the hottest weekends of the year, temperatures were around 34C every day. Even though it is on the top floor of the building it never got too hot since there are windows in different directions which creates a nice breeze. Despite the windows being open, the neighborhood was very quiet at night. Everything was very clean and the apartment is very stylish. Justin gave us great suggestions for nearby businesses. We definitely felt at home and would rent... More »
Great location, cute studio apartment.
This apartment was sincerely cozy with a bohemian chic style. It's a submarine-style walk-up, which might dissuade some people with bad knees, but this roof-top perch affords a delicious panorama of Paris. Best of all is the neighborhhod is fun and lively and unappreciated by tourists (who tend to overlook it's charm).
This is a beautiful studio in an outstanding location. The studio itself is spacious, light, clean, secure and comfortable with excellent facilities (great bathroom; free wi fi; iPod sound system). I could not have asked for a better home away from home. It is important to note that the apartment is located up a number of flights of narrow stairs (not a problem for me but it could be for those with mobility issues). The location is exceptional - in the heart of marais but in a side street... More »
We had a very pleasant stay at Justin's studio in Marais! He was very helpful and met us at the apartment on our first day to give us a brief tour of the place and an overview of the neighborhood. The location of the apartment is very convenient for grocery shopping, dining out and getting to any of the major spots in Paris by Metro or on foot. We would recommend this apartment to our family and friends!
Justin was a very good host. Everything was well prepared. The place was small and cosy but we found there all we needed. I would definitely recommend staying at Justin's.
Justin is nice, friendly and reliable. The apartment we stayed in was perfect, and much better than a hotel. We'll be back! Thanks, Justin!
I enjoyed the stay in the "cosy studio". It's a very nice place with super fast internet! It was definitly not the last time I stayed there! Thank you Justin for the quick response to my request.
We enjoyed our stay at the Avenue Richerand apartment. Justin was very helpful in pointing out nearby restaurants and stores in the area. It was a perfect place to sleep after days out exploring Paris, even though the area is a bit on the noisy side. Very lively though!
I think the studio apartment was the perfect fit for our stay in Paris. We loved the area, it was small but perfect for my husband and I. Justin was very friendly and patient with us (our first time in Paris and we got a bit lost!). The only bit of info I was pass on is that my husband could not stand straight up in the tiny shower, I was able to (I'm 5'4 and just grazed the ceiling) but it was a lovely stay. The free wi-fi was very helpful and the bed was very comfortable. I would... More »
We had a nice time staying at Justin's apartment. The location and the view were amazing. The walk up the six flights of stairs was a little difficult with our luggage, but it we got used to it. We'd rent this studio again.
Justin was very lovely and kindly met us at the apartment. He was extremely flexible with the time. The apartment was perfectly placed in a nice area. It was clean and tidy. I think Justin will renovate it soon - just needs a little paint and some repairs. thank you Justin.
The studio is in a great location. Just a couple of blocks from the metro and within walking distance to most of the biggest attractions that Paris has to offer. The studio was clean and comfortable; just perfect place to rest after a long day. Justin provided a lot of information before arriving and met me at the studio. Thank for the comfortable place to call home for a few days!
This is such a great little apartment, it has everything you need and is very tidy and cosy. The location is fantastic and although it's a bit of a climb to the top floor it's worth it for the view & good for burning off all the pastries you will be eating. We loved staying here, would highly recommend!!!
My girlfriend and I just stayed at Justin’s studio on Rue D’Aboukir and it was great. The apartment was very clean and had everything we needed. It was very close to the Metro and so many attractions. It was great to return to a nice apartment after a long day of shopping and sightseeing, I would rent from Justin again.
Justin was reliable and responsive. The studio is very nice, loved the wifi and the open windows overlooking paris rooftops. The only downside was the 7 flights of stairs to the unit. I would rent from Justin again.
I'd happily rent from Justin again - he was responsive and helpful. The studio was a nice, comfortable place that I enjoyed staying in, and would happily return to. Be aware that it's at the top of several flights of stairs. Free WiFi access. Location great: ~100m from a Metro stop, and easy walking from shops, cafes. There's a small supermarket across the street, fantastic bakeries just around the corner. After I left, Justin solicitied feedback on my stay, and fixed a couple of... More »
studio is a great place to stay. just the right size for one person to rest and sleep at night. justin was a great host. neighborhood is the best part. there were so many people hanging out along the canal on the sunny days. there are cafe's, bakeries, restaurants, grocery store, etc all very close. no real "attractions" so it means minimal tourists! you get a real feel for what it's like to live in paris. very close to a major metro station that can get you to major attractions in just a few...

Very nice appartment, everything is clean. Everything you need is in the appartment. The playe is ideal - calm and in the absolute centre of Paris.
The studio was located in a great location by the canal. There were several wonderful cafes in the area and it was close to 2 metro stations. Justin met us upon our arrival and had drinks and snacks waiting. The apartment was clean and light and just what we needed.
The apartment was very central in a great neighborhood with shops, restaurants and the metro nearby. Great for walking. This is a perfect location for people who don't mind stairs. Justin is a good host and our stay was lovely.
We had an amazing time in paris. Thanks to justin and his welcoming studio we were able to walk everywhere and enjoy paris at it's best. the apartment was super clean and had everything we needed. Justin was very reliable and he made our stay a memorable one. Thanks!
Perfect location...safe, quiet. We had the most wonderful time in Paris. We were in walking distance of everything and the neighborhood was very welcoming. Thanks again to Justin for making our Paris stay a memorable one. Ryan and Mary Welch
Had an amazing stay, had everything I needed. Justin was a very gracious host. I would definitely stay here again, possibly on my next trip to Paris. Very charming studio, and located in walking distance from a lot of choice spots.
Great location, cozy apartment and friendly host. I strongly recommend this place.
What an amazing location! Shops, bakeries, restaurants and bars are all located right around the corner. The studio was very comfortable and had everything you would need. Wifi was a major plus! Highly recommended! Thanks Justin!
The studio was great! It was fully equipped with everything we needed (towels, plates, linens, etc.) The location was absolutely perfect. Hope to go back again. Thanks!
We had a fantastic time staying in Justin's apartment. It was clean, in a GREAT location, and perfect for our needs. I hope I can stay there everytime I'm in Paris. Thanks Justin!
It was a true pleasure sharing my home with Justin. He is easy going, polite and a very interesting person. 5 stars from me :o)
December 2010I'm very pleased to have Justin in London. He is a gentleman, he kept the apartment clean and tidy and we had a wonderful atmosphere around the flat with Justin and his lovely friend. I look forward I will see him soon in Paris this winter.
Justin was a great host and helped make my two weeks in Paris a fantatic experience. His bright, airy studio provided everything I needed for comfort & convenience, and the Canal St. Martin location was perfect. Justin's recommendations about restaurants & shops were right on, and he's got my enthusiastic recommendation!
