My friend and I stayed at Gillian’s place for roughly 9 nights and we can say that this place is cozy and quiet. Gillian was a great host who responded rather quickly to messages. The area in which the place is located might not be appropriate for those who have curious kids. Reason I say this is because there are a few sex shops around and you can only imagine what their display windows show. This was not a big problem for us. DO NOT DISREGARD THIS PLACE BECAUSE OF THE SEX SHOPS! It neighborhood is actually really nice and it feels safe. It is in walking distance to some major attractions in Paris. It is a brisk walk to multiple metro stations, you have multiple corner stores, and many restaurants to chose from. My friend and I decided to walk to the catacombs (1 hour walk from place) and we were able to see the Jardin du Luxembourg and the Latin Quarter. The only bad thing about this place is the washing machine since it is shared with others in the complex. We didn’t have the best experience with the washer/ dryer but that’s more of a personal issue. All in all this place was really comfortable and central.
