Pénélope is the perfect host. She gave us good information before our visit & met us on our arrival. She was also available during our stay if we needed advice. Her apartment was just like the photos
& had everything that we needed. It is situated at the back of the building, overlooking the courtyard so there is no road noise & we slept very well. The large windows open to give a nice, airy feel and the kitchen is equipped for cooking your own meals if required.

The area was not too touristy - it has an authentic, local feel with a good choice of restaurants at reasonable prices. Nearby there are many supermarkets, butchers, bakers etc and a great street market, so shopping is not a problem. With a few Metro stations in walking distance it was easy to get to all the major tourist spots, although many can be reached on foot. Pénélope told us about the Batobus (boat), so we got a 2-day, unlimited ticket allowing us to hop on/off at any of it's 9 stops covering most of the major attractions - very pleasant & much cheaper than private boat trips.

We had a fantastic week in Paris & highly recommend Pénélope's apartment. We would love to stay here again if we visit Paris in the future.

Merci beaucoup Pénélope :-)
