We had the most marvellous time staying with Liliane and her husband Jean Marie. They were incredibly welcoming, helpful and generous our whole stay. We were hesitant about the shared living situation, as it was something new to us, but having our own private bathroom (though the toilet is seperate and shared) and bedroom space well apart from the main living quarters of the couple was perfection. We are so grateful for their hospitality, offering coffee and pancakes whilst also respecting privacy - wonderful for shy travellers like ourselves. As for the apartment, it is simply gorgeous and incredibly clean. There is elevator access, and it is incredibly easy to get to using the (4) Metro Line (which takes you directly to Gare De Nord where the Eurostar comes in) - otherwise it is a lovely and picturesque walk to any other staple location (etc. Louvre, Notre Dam).
Thank you Liliane and Jean Marie !! We will be sure to come again at our next visit to Paris and highly recommend to all.
