We were very tired on arrival after a busy two weeks of travel. Our hosts were very helpful in guiding us in on the metro to their apartment. Georges was also very helpful explaining how the apartment worked and recommended local cafés, markets etc. The apartment was exactly as we expected and is very cleverly designed. The apartment was quiet and the local neighbourhood interesting. The Republique metro was very convenient and travel around Paris was easy. We enjoyed staying in a Parisian apartment instead of a hotel and would recommend staying in Carole and Georges apartment. Fiona and Andrew
