Christophe's home is beautiful, stylish and very comfortable - definitely worth calling a home away from home! The kitchen was very well equipped, which made it easy to cook our own meals during our stay, and it was so nice to have ample space to enjoy meals in and relax after long days of exploring the city. Even though Christophe was in another country during our stay, he made sure we were taken care of. The bed was also comfortable and the bedroom was quiet, which is so important while traveling!
The home is located in a really great neighborhood - close to everything. You get a different feel of Paris in each direction you walk. We enjoyed walking past the port on Rue St Denis to enjoy conversations with people from around the world and some good Turkish food. There are also health food and conventional grocery stores within walking distance.
The only thing that could have improved the home space is a place to unpack your luggage into. We had to be creative with countertop space for that. Also, the tv stopped working half way through our stay; it was a bummer, but gave us more encouragement to get out and be in the city, I guess.
I would definitely recommend this home, and would love to stay again if I make it back to Paris!
(It may be worth noting that there is a dog who lives in the home - obviously not there during our stay - but in case anyone has strong allergies, it's good to know).
Thank you, Christophe and family.
