We absolutely loved Matthieu's apartment! It was very airy and spacious, and tasteful. It is about 20-30 minutes on the Metro to get to the center of Paris (Eiffel Tower, Louvre, etc.), but the local neighborhood is wonderful. Be sure to try Soul Kitchen for Sunday brunch if you can. There are also markets, cafes, and bars located around the flat and the neighborhood felt very safe. Matthieu was quick to respond to any questions we had and was very helpful in giving suggestions for what to do during our stay. Some have commented on the noise, but we found the unit better than average for a Paris flat -- some noise from the street and cafe during prime hours, but very quiet while we were sleeping. Thanks for such a lovely stay.
