We had an excellent experience with Helene and Vladimir! The place had great access to the metro and is close to two Velib bike stations for getting around town. The bed was very comfortable, and little Oscar the bunny was friendly and fun to watch and pet in the garden. We also loved the bathroom design, which was also appointed with nice towels, great french body soap, toothpaste and Qtips in case we needed it (I bought two bottles of the body soap to take home with me from MonoPrix I loved it so much). There is also a record player in the room equipped with some records from Vladimir's collection and we played music any time we were there. We would stay at Helene and Valdimir's any time!
