We loved our stay at Matthieu's from the moment we arrived. We arrived later, due to traffic, but his wife was very understanding. Matthieu called by later and was very helpful - making sure we had all we needed in the apartment and gave us tips and advice on where to eat and what to see. It was our first time in Paris and he went to a lot of trouble to make sure we had a great time...laminated maps to get to restaurants, cafe's and patisserie's to get us started. Apartment was well stocked - great coffee, tea, bathroom products and washing machine liquid. Apartment was light and spacious, warm and homely. It is located on a busy street but once inside, it is extremely peaceful and relaxing. We would recommend this listing to anyone travelling to Paris - a great location! There is a Metro station just outside the building making it easy to get to places but there are great cafe's and restaurants close by - about a 10-15 minute stroll away is the best park in Paris - 'Parc des Buttes-Chaumont'. Thank you for making our stay in Paris so wonderful!
