Sandrine was a very communicative host with helpful information. We were in Paris during a very warm summer spell and found the air conditioning that was only in one section of the apartment (not throughout the two levels and 4 rooms) to be insufficient, which was uncomfortable. Other times of year I’m sure would be fine. It is worth noting that the location right by the canal, which is scenic, does mean noise from the street, which on a Saturday night lasted til 3 in the morning! That may not be an issue for others, but was disturbing to us. There were so many cafes, shops and delicious restaurants that we really enjoyed. Very much a different version of Paris than many might experience staying in the more touristy areas, and we liked that! Overall, great space for our family of 4 for the money.
