Paul and Marie's place was exactly what they describe. The flat is located on the first floor of a apt building. It was very secure and I felt safe being there with my gf. The neighborhood was amazing. We were right in the middle of everything. Bars, Metro, Bus, Market, Pharmacy most of all restaurants. My gf and I mastered the Metro and was able to get into the city with-in 20 minutes which was great. We had no issues with no one and we felt very safe. The flat was perfect. The communication was amazing. As soon as we arrived, I contacted Paul and Marie's son who contacted our point of contact and walked us around the flat and how to use everything. Everything was perfect. I really couldn't ask for more. If your visiting Paris for the first time or coming back again, I say use Paul and Marie's flat. You will not regret it. Paul and Marie, thank you again for the outstanding and wonderful hospitality.
