5 stars for everything. The flat is absolutely lovely. So stylish and roomy. We were traveling with a 16, 14, and 12 year old and everyone loved the place. My oldest daughter keeps talking about how awesome it was to have the windows open on the summer evenings with the wind blowing the gauzy curtains -- it spoke to her of the romance of Paris! All the amenities were great and staying in an actual family house rather than just a sterile investment property made it so much better and more charming. We did not meet Eric and his family but the man who checked us in was great, friendly and helpful, and all our communication with Eric was the same. The neighborhood is fantastic. It was so nice after long days doing all the touristy things to come back to a neighborhood where ordinary people were living. It was young, diverse and interesting with all sorts of cafes, bakeries, groceries, restaurants and close to multiple metro stops. We almost skipped eating at Gumbo Yaya up the street from the flat because we were focused on French food, but my son insisted and we're so glad he did. It was great fried chicken! Many nights we walked in the neighborhood along the canal and enjoyed seeing all the Parisians sitting in groups of friends and family along the water, enjoying the evening with snacks and beer and wine. We definitely can't wait to visit Paris again and would love to stay in this great place. We absolutely recommend it without reservation!
