Stephanie could not have been more helpful and informative: for example she gave us excellent advice about how to get to house and her estimates of costs were spot on. Her “household hints” were also detailed and very useful. The “duplex"house is lovely - spacious, and just as depicted in the photographs. It is full of character and overlooks a private shared garden. The kitchen is well equipped, and suitable for those who wish to self cater. It is situated in a lovely cobbled square, with boulangeries nearby for delicious French breakfasts. We enjoyed food shopping at the really excellent Sunday morning market just up the road. This is not a noticeably affluent area of Paris, but we felt completely safe walking around. I guess for some people, the distance to the nearest Metro station, a 10 minute walk, (15 mins with young children), might be a disadvantage, but we did not find it a problem, and there are bus stops that are nearer. Overall, our family group thoroughly enjoyed our stay (age range from 6 to 78!) and we all agreed we would book with Stephanie again if we returned to Paris for another trip.
