Want to experience the real Paris, in a lively none touristic area, still only 15 minutes per metro, or 30 min walking from most of the sight seeing Paris has to offer, be equipped with a list of insider tips to find spots (restaurants, vintage shops, art etc) you would not find yourself...then Charles place and hospitality is something for you....we had an amazing experience in Paris not the least because of the "support" of Charles...Food / drinks on arrival, great intro (by his brother), clean basic apartment, superb location etc...we will for sure come back
