The hosts (Walter and Myriam) were very good at responding via email before we arrived and accommodating special requests we had for our family of four (with two little kids aged 1 and 4).

We were met by Myriam who was very helpful and provided us with all the information we needed about the flat, the neighbourhood, things for the boys in the flat (toys they could use etc) and how things worked etc. They gave us their phone numbers and we could contact them if needed during our stay (ten days).

Travelling with really little kids can be tricky which is why we chose to use Airbnb (and this was our first experience). The flat had everything we needed to make travelling with kids easier - plastic crockery for kids, a high chair, lots of games and toys (dress ups, books, board games etc), kids DVDs, s small but functional kitchen, a lift, a washing machine etc. There is a lovely kids park just down the road and a Monoprix supermarket 2 minutes away (with lots of semi prepared meals and quick meal options for kids) which made catering at home very easy with little ones. Our kids are used to more space (we are from Australia) so for them it was a small flat, but it was totally fine with the boys each being able have a room and then we had a room.

The photos of the flat don’t really do it justice. The flat is charming, interesting, old and homely, with books and interesting art work etc. It has everything you need to be totally comfortable. To be honest the couch was a bit small for us all, but this is a totally minor detail.

We really liked the location, on a quiet street with a preschool over the road and nice cafes etc, but close to everything.

We would highly recommend this place. Thank you for a wonderful stay and a great introduction to Paris for our family.

Many Thanks Walter and Myriam.
