I had THE BEST time at Kristin's flat. Check-in and check-out were super easy, Kristin is a dear and the flat is even better than I expected. It's just as cute as it seems to be in the pictures, everything works just fine, there's instructions everywhere in case you don't know how to use something and the bed is very comfortable. The location is great, the nearest metro station (République) connects with 5 different lines and they pretty much go everywhere (I never had to change lines more than once). The neighbourhood is nice as well. Great market down the street, many places to eat nearby, walking distance from Oberkampf, canal Saint Martin, Centre Georges Pompidou, Carnavalet Museum and so on. The flat is on the fifth floor and there's no elevator, so going up and down with luggage isn't exactly nice but on a daily basis it's not a problem. Actually, looking on the bright side, after a month in Paris eating like a horse I didn't put on a single pound and I guess those stairs (plus the crazy walking) had everything to do with it. I could keep writing, but bottom line is I don't think I could have got a better place (except if I were filthy rich) and I most definitely recommend Kristin's place for a perfect vacation in Paris <3
Thanks again, Kristin. Hope to see you soon :-)
