Pilar was an excellent host. Being welcomed at her home was like being met by long lost family. The apartment was a good size for the area, and was well stocked with all the amenities you could want. Pilar looked after us, even getting bread and jam for breakfast for us, and ensuring we had plenty of coffee. The area is excellent, in walking distance of all the best Paris attractions, and close by to plenty of metro stations. The suburb itself is excellent, with plenty of great restaurants and bars very clone by. Pilar also provided plenty of recommendations for places to visit during our stay. If I ever come back to Paris, I will stay here again.
