We had a lovely stay with Alex and Pierre in Paris. There home is in such a great location with a little park across the road, lots of cafes and eateries around and the train station super close as well. They were both very welcoming and made us feel right at home, we were given some advice on how to use the Metro Station which made our stay so much easier. We were initially hesitant staying in someone else's home while they live there bit so glad we did we had a great time and were welcomed to use the common area and given our own privacy too. Would definitely recommend.
