Could not say enough wonderful things about this place!
The cutest house in the most fun neighborhood, and the hosts were so helpful, generous, communicative, and hospitable.
We travelled with our toddler, and the 2nd bedroom was a perfect home-away-from-home for him. It was so nice to not just have a pack-n-play set up in the corner, but for him to have a real room so that my wife and I could have the rest of the house to ourselves to Netflix and chill with some natural wine every night after he went to bed.
And the neighborhood! Couldn't be more fun. There are 2 coffee shops and a natural wine bar literally next door/across the street, and directly across the canal is an idyllic Parisian street with a dozen more food/drink options. Walkable to several great parks, tons of great food/drink, and the canal, of course, which is a dream - especially at night time when all the locals hang out until the sun goes down.
We are from San Francisco, and so we enjoy all the grit of the graffiti and boom-boxes etc, but if you are not from a city, you should expect this to be a more lively neighborhood than a quiet one. We had no problems at all with street noise, safety, etc, but just know that you'd be staying in the action, and not in a quiet suburb :)
We stayed for ten days, and biked/walked across almost the whole city during our stay, and at the end of our trip we STILL feel like we got lucky with the most fun neighborhood, and if we could do it all over again, we wouldn't change a thing (except maybe to stay longer)
A few FYIs:
- At the time of our stay, the 2nd bedroom was set-up as a nursery (SO ideal for traveling with kids/babies/toddlers).
- There is no microwave
- It is on the "first floor" (meaning not one street level, but rather up one flight of stairs)
We will 100% be coming back, and already looking forward to it <3
