Antonio was very quick to respond to text messages and always helpful . We did not actually meet him as he was away when we arrived in Paris, but his friend Thomas welcomed us at the flat and was pleasant and gave us helpful information about the area .
The flat was artistically set out . The stairs were beautiful and kept us fit, and the flat was nice and quiet, with lovely views.
The only thing that was a bit surprising was that the two bedrooms were barely separated, and the only place to hang clothes required going through the other bedroom, so not as much personal space as expected.
The area round about was great. We felt it was real Paris, not touristy. The baker's at the end of the street was fantastic !! The best almond croissants we've ever tasted !! We loved the canal and enjoyed going to a lovely bar there.
Getting to the main attractions (art galleries etc) was very easy by metro and we had a lovely stay .
