Matthieu as a host and his apartment completely exceeded our expectations. We were a bit hesitant about staying in the 19th Arrondissement.. silly us. Walk out the entrance door and you are at the Metro. Walk the neighborhoods. Walk to and along the canal. We felt safe and enjoyed a wonderful blend of culture and plenty of old Paris charm.
Matthieu speaks excellent English. He lives next door and is readily available to assist with anything. We found ourselves in Paris on our day of departure when there was a one day Metro and bus strike. He helped us determine the best way to get to the airport. We easily walked to Gare du Nord to catch train to CDG. No problem.
The apartment is quiet, clean, best shower ever! Matthieu has ensured his guests will enjoy their stay!
We were there the second week of September so no A/C not a problem.
If we are fortunate to return, this is where we will stay!
