We couldn't have picked a better place to stay in Paris! Haven of Peace is an appropriate description as the street is vibrant with cafes all around yet Romain's place is quiet and peaceful. We wanted to stay and eat where local Parisians go, not where the tourists go! It was ideal. Since Romain was not able to be there to greet us, he had a friend meet us, tell us all about the flat and give us a walking tour of the area. Romain was in touch all through our stay to see if we had questions or needed assistance of any kind. He has a wealth of books and information about Paris, a lot of great restaurant recommendations, easy access to the metro and within walking distance of many wonderful Paris sites. We definitely will be back as 3 days is not enough time in Paris!!!
