Making our reservation with Sebastien kicked off a series of events and decisions, which led to an amazing and unforgettable trip to Paris.

Sebastien promptly replied to my emails and we found the flat absolutely lovely, even calling it home. The full kitchen added to our comfort and allowed us to save money. It was fun to have our own space where we could try to recreate some French classics we found.

The building is very quiet so it was always easy to get a solid rest. It is also located in a "typical" Parisian neighborhood so you can hit the ground running without navigating through touristy cafes and overpriced restaurants. The free WiFi meant we could use Google maps and other guide books, provided in the flat, to confidently plan each excursion.

You're close to open markets, metro stations, Bastille, Pompidou, and everything you need to start blending in.
