Emmanuelle and Olivier were there to welcome us and show us the room, which is in their apartment in a very unique and cool building in the 19th. The room was small but was equipped with everything we needed, and the bathroom was clean and seemed brand new. The area was very quiet, and my husband said he had the best sleep he's had in quite a while. The location is great - you are just a few minutes from the metro, the canal, and a number of cafes, stores, etc. The area is not very touristy, so we really enjoyed seeing that side of Paris. And we had one of the best dinners of our whole trip at a Moroccan restaurant (L'Atantide) a 10 minute walk from the apartment.
