We think it is very brave and trusting of Giang to share her family home with others. We are not sure we could do it. However, for the guests it is great as it adds to the ambience of the place, makes it more homely and welcoming. As you would expect, the kitchen is extremely well equipped and you don’t have to worry about “borrowing” odd bits and bobs from Giang’s extensive store cupboard! You also don’t have to worry about taking reading material with you as the flat has hundreds of books of all kinds, lots of them in English. The flat is very warm and quiet, has comfortable beds and an excellent shower. We strongly recommend this apartment. A visit to Bercy Village is a must and we also recommend the Coulét Verte - a beautiful, elevated walkway to Bastille.
