We loved Rachel and Simon’s place because:

-great hosts (Rachel popped in and kindly pointed us in the direction of some fantastic places)
-great location (very easy to get to from Gare du Nord, easy to find and busy but nice area)
-clean and nice touches (very tasty biscuits and coffee)
-perfectly sized room for a brief break (even for 2 tall guys like us)
-very comfortable bed

Recommended highly!
