The apartment itself is very impressive, the modern and cool decor was really chic. It was very clean and comfortable and everything was well labled so we didn't have too mooch around for anything we needed. The area the apartment is in is really relaxed, right next to the canal and within walking distance of many bars, restaurants and shops. Busy and buzzing without being hectic. As hosts they were wonderful,, making us feel really at home. Our flight was delayed so we arrived 2 hours late but the lady there to meet us was not overly fussed and was lovely. There was a welcome pack with advice on where to go and even a hand drawn map for us. Overall it was a great place to use as our base to explore Paris and live like the locals do.
