There was an unexpected issue with the gas (hot water & heat) on the first day I was to stay at Pierre & Duncan's place. Pierre was above and beyond accommodating and apologetic, even though the issue was no fault of theirs. He offered me an alternative space to stay, which I agreed to. But even from my brief time just checking in and seeing the Love Nest by the Canal, I know that it would be an amazing space for travelers. I still stayed within the same neighborhood, and as a solo female traveler, can attest to the neighborhood feeling exceptionally safe for walking alone! The neighborhood is a true gem and full of great places to eat, drink and just enjoy a less touristy part of Paris. The Love Nest by the Canal is also outfitted with so many little touches that make travelers feel welcome and accommodated - from hangers, a robe, a USB outlet plug, and extra toiletries. Pierre & Duncan are clearly 5 star hosts!
