Stephane's home is in such a vibrant, young, and lovely area of Paris! We don't think we could have stayed in a better area. So many cafes and bars. Near the Sorbonne so there are a lot of students (which makes it fun in my opinion!) A literal block away from Notre Dame and a very close walk to the Seine and the Louvre. Close to the Metro too so you can visit all the popular spots. Close to the Cluny and a nice park with the oldest tree in Paris. Very easy train ride from Charles De Gaulle. Beautiful view from the windows. Overall very charming. Can't recommend enough.
The best part was meeting Stephane. He let us in and then gave us a small tour of the area. Let us know which were the good restaurants, the affordable restaurants, and the ones that are bad and a rip off. Also showed us where we could buy groceries, and cool bars. He is really kind too, and helped me with some French phrases.
On another note... We highly recommend Le Caveau de la Huchette!!!! Great jazz bar a walk away. Stay here!
