Paul's place is a quirky, charming appartement, as described and seen on the pictures. It is in a lively and cosmopolitan area with lots of little bargain shops and plenty to eat. With two subway stations nearby, it is a perfect base to visit Paris. The appartement itself is secure through two gates and is part of an old building, perfect for families and couples but I would warn old people or people with disabilities that it is not easily accessible as it is on the 1st floor with no elevator and there are lots of steps and stairs. Paul was very easy to communicate with prior to our arrival and so helpful when we met him. He is very friendly and was able to communicate well in English with my family. We loved the map of the area he drew in the kitchen; a lovely and thoughtful touch that might help visitors! I would definitely return and recommend to all my friends!
