This house is a gem! The photos really do not do it justice - it is a thousand times more beautiful, quirky and 'french' in real life and a fantastic place to make a stay in Paris more memorable.
Firstly Christophe is a very accommodating host - we were looking for a place with parking and when we figured out our car would not fit into the garage he arranged with the neighbours for us to park our car in the compound. I had a query during our stay and I received a response within a few minutes.
The house is located on a quiet one way street, in a private compound with secure gates leading into it, the neighbours are very friendly and helpful and as a bonus (for the children especially) there is even a cat who loves affection (and food...).
It is about 2 minutes away from the Metro and takes no time at all to get to all the main tourist attractions.
A major plus point is that it has a super market opposite and lots of food options within a few minutes walk.
Despite the proximity of everything, once you step into the compound you feel like your are stepping into a sanctuary of calmness. It's is quiet, quirky and very French!
The house is beautiful - two comfortable double beds on the ground floor, a spiral staircase which leads to an open plan kitchen and living area on the first floor and another double bed on the mezzanine level.
There were 2 adults and 4 children (13, 11, 8, 4) in our party and it felt spacious and comfortable.
The decor is lovely with stone walls and wooden beams but the house is also modern and well equipped. I was a little worried about the bathroom from the photos but it is lovely (the photos really do not do the house the justice it deserves).
The is plenty of hot water and we even used the washing machine.
It's the perfect, value for money, memory maker location for a visit to Paris.
