We had a really wonderful 2 night stay in Vinciane and Frank's studio apartment. Vinciane provided detailed instructions about how to get to the flat, which meant we found it really easily, and when we arrived we couldn't believe what a great location we were in! The flat is right in the centre of la Marais, only 5 minutes walk from the Seine and 10 minutes from Bastille. The central location meant we could walk just about everywhere, though there are metro stops very close to the apartment which made getting up to Montmartre and other less central areas really easy.

On the day we arrived Frank gave us a really interesting summary of the building's illustrious history, and some great insights into the local area. We tried 2 of the restaurants they recommended, and both had fabulous food, great value for money too. Vinciane was kind enough to book us a table on our first night, and because we were her guests we got the best table in the restaurant and a complimentary aperitif - we felt very special!

The welcome we received from Vincaine and Frank really made our trip, they were very accommodating and really made the effort to make sure we had the best time possible in their flat. The flat was spotless and is just as it looks in the pictures, loads of character and beautiful old beams. Wine and water were waiting when we checked in, which was a really lovely touch. The flat had everything we needed, my favourite things were the amazing shower and the espresso machine! When it came to checking in and out, Vinciane and Frank were flexible and very kindly looked after our luggage while we enjoyed our final day in Paris before heading back to London. When we next visit Paris we definitely hope to stay with them again, I can't recommend the apartment enough.

Thank you both for a wonderful weekend!
