Leslie is a great host, offering to meet us at Gare du Nord and take us to her flat. Her flat is very practical, and very clean and tidy. She prepared everything very well, with instructions and keys and the like, and with plenty of towels etc. Transport is easy (metro 5 mins walk). I would strongly recommend Leslie and her flat, but I would caution that if you're well over 6' tall it might take you a short while to get used to the low sloping ceilings in the bedrooms!
