I cannot say enough good things about this place--it's a little piece of heaven near the Buttes-Chaumont. As soon as you walk in, you feel calm. The space is much bigger and nicer than you would think from the pictures--the architecture is lovely, and everything about the space feels thoughtful, generous, and clean. The hosts are terrific--we interacted with Benjamin, mostly, in person, but we wrote to both of the hosts. They're warm, artistic, and considerate. Benjamin is fluent in English, but it was fun to speak French with him, and the apartment is full of kid's toys, books in French, and, and all kinds of great little touches. We traveled as a small family, two parents and an 8 year old, and we were joined by two dear friends, both doctors, coming in from London. It was so easy to meet up, and we got two sets of keys, which was perfect. The neighborhood is bobo-hip but also grassroots Paris; mixed, safe, and friendly. Great food everywhere, and well equipped kitchen if you want to cook; and you're surrounded by amazing organic stores, especially the great Canal Bio. Literally 6 stars. The place is so much lovelier than the pictures; I almost don't want to write such a good review, because I want it to remain my secret, but I also want these great hosts to get the wonderful people they deserve. And also, I'm somewhat picky--so if I say 6 stars, I really mean it.
