Helene was the perfect host and made us feel very welcome. She was very good at keeping in touch.
The apartment is in a vibrant area with good restaurants and bars which don't feel too "touristy". If you do want to to sightsee the Metro is a five minute walk away and the centre of Paris just 20 mins away.
This a home full of character and scores well against a sterile hotel room. We loved flicking through some of the numerous books tucked in every corner.
The apartment overlooked a pretty apartment and the other residents in the block were polite and quiet.
The beds were clean and comfortable and everything else was exactly as described.
We would not hesitate to recommend this flat to a friend and hope to return soon.
Many thanks to Helene for sharing her lovely home.
