Charlotte is a warm and welcoming host. She met us in person on arrival to orient us to the duplex. It was lovely to have some cold drinks in the fridge, coffee and a fresh baguettte and cookies when we checked in . Charlotte responded immediately to any questions we had during our stay. The duplex is spacious and good value for Paris. The location is not ideal for a first trip to Paris as the 13th is not close to any of the main sites ( fine for us at the end of our trip ) However, the #27 bus stops outside the door and goes by all the major attractions. It is also an easy walk to the Seine where some trendy fun restaurants have opened on the banks. The access to the apartment is unusual (through the garage and down some outdoor stairs) but easy enough without luggage. nice to have the outdoor space. The kitchen is well-equipped and I was thrilled to have extra towels! You will enjoy Charlotte’s hospitality.
