Where do I begin! This was the most ideal and perfect living experience for my husband and myself for our honeymoon. Gaelle was tremendously helpful and stay in constant contact with me up until our arrival even though she was not available to meet with us but rather her friend Matheu (forgive my spelling please). He too was very helpful and patient since our arrival to the flat was later than expected. Upon our arrival he provided with answers to all of our questions and shared the maps that Gaelle left for us to use.
Our one day shy of two weeks stay was perfect. The flat was clean and comfortable and felt just like home. We cooked, listened to records, watched French television and enjoyed the peace and quiet when we decided to stay in some nights. The only drawback was that the washing machine had just stopped working prior to our arrival of one carry on each but we did not let that spoil our trip.
The neighbor was fitting for our needs and central to all that we wanted to do during our stay. We had a local grocery store just downstairs for our daily needs. There were two lively cafes right outside our doors that we unfortunately didn't get a chance to visit but wanted too. We also became locals to one of the hip newer coffee shops just two blocks away.
If you are like us and want to explore all of Paris without using the metro or cabs this is an ideal area and flat to stay in. We made the decision to walk every where we went no matter what arrondissement and this flat just below Montmartre made it very easy to do.
Having a home away from home can be a bit frightening and overwhelming especially if going out of a different country but Gaelle made our stay very easy and her constant contact when I needed to reach to her made the stay that much more comforting.
Also, she is very flexible of your needs especially if they're last minute. We forgot to add an extra day to our stay and didn't realize until last minute and she worked it our with us which made our worries go away. THANK YOU for that Gaelle!
