My husband and I were SUPER pleased with our stay chez Julien. We were there for almost a week and our "home" really helped make our stay in Paris outstanding. For tourists, Julien's apartment is exceptionally close to several very useful subway lines (one about 3m walk away, and several others only about 8m away). We had the opportunity to meet him when we checked-in and he was exceptionally conscientious in making sure we were comfortable and understood everything about the accommodation. A few key points to remember: it is a fifth floor walk-up (no elevator) and there is little sound-proofing in this older building. So it is ideal for adult tourists who plan to spend most of their time exploring the city. The neighborhood was very quiet and safe, with several grocery stores, boulangeries, cafes and restaurants very close by. We had a wonderful time!
