Julie's property was ideal for a relaxing longer Christmas break - a typical Paris flat with tall windows and timber finishes, bedrooms upstairs. Plenty of space for a family to socialise but also have some downtime. The kitchen was modest, very clean, with dishwasher, microwave and oven, all actively used by us. Bathroom a bit tired but perfectly functional. The neighbourhood has a lovely local feeling - vibrant and active late into the evenings, but safe and comfortable, and not so touristy as other popular areas in Paris. Bus outside the front door, metro only 5 minutes' walk. An easy life. We felt very much at home in Julie's property, and would love to revisit!
