My husband and I stayed in Joy's apartment for a week with our 17-year old daughter and 18 year old nephew. It was the first time in Paris for both of the kids. We all have only great things to say about this apartment, location and especially the host, Joy. First, Joy was extremely helpful and responsive to each and every question I posed prior to our visit. From finding us a local swimming pool to giving not only suggestions but sharing links for booking train travel outside of Paris - she always replied within a day or two. The flat has all the Parisian charm you can wish for, yet is recently remodeled and includes updates and amenities to make your stay comfortable. The decor is simple yet elegant. The location is perfect; walking distance to three different subway stations - or an easy walk through the gorgeous Luxembourg Gardens to other attractions. I can tell Joy is highly organized and it shows in the information she leaves for her guests with detailed information about local restaurants, cafes, grocery stores, etc - which we used every day. Joy went out of her way to make our stay special; I highly recommend her and this charming, comfortable and spacious flat for you Paris experience.
