Great hostess who allowed us a flexible check-in after an international flight. She greeted us upon arrival to show us around her home regarding switches, blinds, kitchen gadgets, space to store our belongings and recommend places to eat. Fabienne provided a notebook with brief instructions, local information, metro info and a map of the area. She was quick to respond with any questions during our stay. The flat was very hip and the kitchen was well equipped. She surprised us with wine, beer, bottled water, a complimentary French breakfast, coffee, milk and full access to her kitchen staples. There are two local restaurants at the end of the block who are very accommodating and serve delicious food (try the daily specials). There are at least two grocery stores within a block or two and more cafes around the nearby park. Two metros are within easy walking distance (less than 10 minutes). Security is strong with two coded entry doors. Trash is in the basement through the right hand door, and then beyond another door. Check out was very simple in comparison to USA Air B&B’s (just tidy up and walk out). Definitely recommend a stay at Fabienne’s lovely flat!
