My mother and I stayed at Alexia and Emmanuel's place for just over a week and it was a dream! Each morning was like waking up in a magazine - the apartment looks JUST like the photos. The beds (including air mattress) were comfortable and heating was fine even in the winter chill. Absolutely no issues with logistics - I suppose the wifi signal is weak in the bedroom but it was kind of a perk actually!
The area is truly fabulous. Our favorite place was Le Lapin Blanc wine bar just across the street for amazing brunch and late-night dinner and drinks. Not to mention the patisserie, flower shop, theatres, bars and pharmacies all within a couple blocks. There's also a beautiful new salon called Parisienne et Orientale 3 blocks away where I got a fantastic cut, color, and pedicure. Say hi to the lovely owner, Jasmine, if you go. :) Alexia was also super helpful recommending places in the area.
Plus, the neighborhood feels busy but quaint and is actually a short walking distance to 3 metro stations and along a major bus route. Getting around was so easy.
Alexia and Emmanuel's place was a perfect home for us and I'd highly recommend this spot!!!
