What a gem! In short, Mathilde is an incredible hostess and her place is beautiful. I honestly believe that I would not have enjoyed my stay in Paris as much if I hadn't stayed here. At booking, Mathilde was really good at communicating everything I needed to know about how to get to her place and how to get into the building and her apartment. I reached Mathilde's late on a weekday and she was there waiting for me and stayed up late to get to know me and to offer priceless tips on exploring Paris. Throughout my stay, Mathilde introduced me to her friends, continued to give me wonderful advice about exploring the city, and generously invited me to have delicious breakfast with her every morning. As for the apartment, it is spotless, centrally located and beautifully decorated. Mathilde has really though of everything to make her guests feel comfortable and welcome. One of the highlight's of my trip was hanging around the beautiful apartment and basking in the sun in Mathilde's gorgeous balcony. The location is ideal for someone who wants to explore Paris - I was able to go all around the city on foot and on the metro. I could not recommend this place more. I am so very lucky to have stayed here and to have met Mathilde!
