Perfect home base for exploring Paris! We traveled as a family of five (my wife and I, plus children ages 15, 13 and 11), and the apartment accommodated us very comfortably. We ate out most meals, but it was nice to have a small kitchen for when we didn't. The washer/dryer came in handy for doing some laundry before we moved on from Paris. The best part, though, is location. The flat is located in a great neighborhood (we felt very safe), and a Metro stop serving three lines is just out the front door of the building. Very convenient to get to anywhere in the city from this location. We never saw the hosts, but they were very responsive and helpful throughout our stay (and before we arrived). Highly recommend.
