We really enjoyed our stay here. The apartment is small, but that's part of the charm and what we expected. The main benefits of this apartment are: 1.) it's your own studio at a very affordable price, so you can be truly independent during your stay in Paris; 2.) the neighbourhood (les Batignolles) is in my opinion one of the best neighbourhoods to stay in. It is well connected but it has it's own identity, so when you come home and walk around to local shops/markets/restaurants, you feel you are truly living the Parisian life; 3.) The apartment is adorable and super clean. Xinyue and Gwendal clearly take a lot of pride in the apartment. In addition to a wonderfully illustrated guidebook, it has wonderful design quirks and is tastefully decorated. It was also impeccably clean; and finally 4.) Although we did not have the chance to meet Gwendal, we did meet his partner Xinyue who was a total delight: she met us on time for check in, gave us helpful suggestions in the area for our first night and was available during our trip if we had any questions. Merci beaucoup, Xinyue and Gwendal!
