This is exactly how Airbnb is supposed to work; you stay in a new city or country and you experience living as the locals do. For me, the perfect holiday. The apartment is a home and every detail shows you the life of Viv and Dado. It has everything you need accompanied with a huge serving of warmth and care. We were greeted very early in the morning after a long flight and it felt like we were visiting relatives (that we liked) for Christmas.
The area is vibrant, a walk along the Canal a daily pleasure, the perfect bakery on the closest corner. The street is very quiet however has a selection of amazing vegetarian and vegan cafes and restaurants. Close to the Gare de Est, food markets, Place de Republique.
If you are lucky you will find a place to stay just like this one. Or if you are really lucky you can stay here. I hope I can do so again. Thank you so much for sharing your home and your approach to life.
