We absolutely loved our stay in Kristin's apartment. We didn't get to meet Kristin, but she left v clear instructions of how to find the apartment which is only 5 mins from well connected Republique Station, a few stops from Gar de Nord & less than 20 mins from central Paris. We appreciated instructions for household devices & local info. Kristin has been extremely friendly and helpful with her emails. Everything was v clean, & equipped with kitchen utensils, towels & guidebooks- everything we needed. It's so quick & easy to get around from this location that it's definitely worth staying just slightly further out to stay in a more spacious flat. We felt excited and privileged to be staying in such a lovely, authentic Parisian apartment for our 1st trip to Paris & we can't wait to return.
