This is a very stylish apartment that is even nicer than can be conveyed through photographs. It is also quite comfortable and you can feel at home here. Mathieu is very responsive to any questions you might have and went the extra mile to check us in when we arrived much later than expected. There was even a bottle of wine waiting to welcome us. Mathieu provides a wonderful notebook filled with tips, advice on restaurants, maps, etc. We consulted this regularly and found it very helpful. There are three metro stops, on different lines, that are only a few minutes away, so everything is accessible by public transportation (it may be a bit too far to walk to the single digit arrondissements for most people). The kitchen is clean and modern and stocked with some spices/salt/pepper/sugar for cooking, ice cubes already made, etc. - so also really usable if you decide to stay in and cook one night. There are great food options on Rue LeCourbe, just half a block north of the flat, if you want to eat locally. The front bedroom does have some street noise on the weekend evenings, but we just had our light sleepers use the back bedroom and this was fine for us. Overall, a great apartment and host!
