Antoine was a great host, when we arrived it was in the evening but his instructions for the metro were brilliant and he was waiting at the flat. He had got us some bits and pieces like bread, fruit and wine which was lovely! The apartment is absolutely wonderful, spacious, beautifully decorated and in a brilliant location within 15 minute walk to the Jardin de Plants and less than 5 minutes to any of the 3 metro stations close by. The double bed was more than big enough to fit 2 people in and had room to spare.

Locally there were lots of great places to eat, lots of supermarkets and boulangeries as well as an amazing patisserie all of which were very reasonably priced. As two girls wandering around Paris in the evening it felt very comfortable and friendly as a neighbourhood, with lots of people sitting outside eating and drinking and going about their Parisian way of life. We couldn't have asked for anything better! Not only would we recommend the apartment but we would want to stay again.

The only negative was that it was initially difficult to get in touch with Antoine, but we found out that he had been traveling and when it was closer to the trip he was very prompt in replying and made sure that our stay was brilliant :)
