We were met at the apartment by the family's babysitter who instantly made us feel welcome with her warm and generous nature. The apartment had everything we needed to make travelling with an infant as easy as possible, from cot, changing mat and toys to well-equipped kitchen and ground floor access. The space was bright, clean, comfortable and spacious (especially for Paris), and there was a lovely little garden/playground within the complex. Location was ideal: well serviced by bus and metro and very easy to commute to from Gare du Nord (Eurostar terminal). Local shops and cafes are just around the corner, and it was an easy walk to the buzz of Le Marais. Yet the apartment itself is in a complex off a small side street affording privacy, peace and quiet.

Although short, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Laetitia's home and would love to stay there again should we return to visit Paris.
