Taïne is amazing, her flat is amazing, and the location is amazing! My mom came to visit me and said “it’s more Paris than Paris!”. The centrality of Taïne’s apartment makes staying at her place incredible. The metro station is less than 2 blocks away and there’s a bustling street with restaurants and bars that is flooded with pedestrians but not many cars which makes you feel connected to the beautiful city without obnoxious traffic noise. The apartment itself is also beautifully decorated and the room I stayed in was better than what I could’ve imagined. With three windows that open to a beautiful Parisian street corner and very few cars passing by, I fell in love with my room and the neighborhood. On top of being in a great location and living in a beautiful, artistic flat, Taïne was a splendid host. She genuinely cared about my time in Paris and doing what she could to help me experience the best of the city. She gave me suggestions on what areas to visit, how to get around, what museums she likes, the best grocery stores for fresh and seasonal produce, as well as great restaurants in the area. If I come back to Paris, I would definitely want to stay with her again! Thank you, Taïne!
