My family of five adults stayed at Mathiieu's delightful apartment. We felt like we had a real Parisian experience. His apartment is in a vibrant neighborhood with great access to taxis, busses and the underground just right outside the apartment. Lots of restaurants, bakeries, chocolate shops and an open air market among other establishments on the streets below. Although the apartment is not the most luxurious, it is very comfortable and enjoyable. Mathiew and his Mom, who checked us out, were extremely gracious and accomodating. Travelers should note that there are about 79 steps up to the apartment, although there is a small lift which worked out well for our family. I would stay at Mathieu's again!
