We loved Matthieu’s place. We were greeted with a bottle of wine and the trip got better from there. The location is a neighborhood, not touristy. At the end of the block is a supermarket and great bakery. Within 4 blocks were many cafes and restaurants. Matthieu has a great book set up with recommendations.
To get to the sites, it is a 1.5 block trip to Metro which was extremely convenient. With 5 guests, the flat was perfect and we would highly recommend it.
