Stéphane's smart and stylish apartment was a wonderful home for our Christmas holidays - after staying for a week, it was hard to say goodbye to his fully-equipped kitchen and cozy, book-lined walls! Even though the metro lines were shut down throughout most of our stay (due to the protests/strikes), we never encountered any issues, as Stéphane's place was a walkable distance from any central location we planned to visit. But make sure you don't over-fill your schedule with tourist destinations - you'll want to leave some time to take a morning stroll or two by the beautiful Canal St. Martin, just around the corner from his apartment. Thank you, Stéphane, for an unforgettable week in Paris!
