Magda and Nasr were perfect hosts! They were welcoming, considerate, and what to me is “quintessential Parisian”! I even got birthday flowers, wine, and chocolate! Everything in the apartment was as stated, so there were no unpleasant surprises. This was my third time in Paris, but it was my first time staying in an apartment and living among French people. It was very different from staying in a hotel. My husband and I enjoyed the experience very much.
The Dupleix neighborhood is a very busy place. Yet the street Magda‘s apartment is located on was very quiet. We especially appreciated that at night! One thing I’d like to mention: the apartment is very clean and has hardwood floors. This makes it very suitable for people with allergies.
The view from both windows of the apartment is stunning! I never closed the drapes. I kept looking out those windows every chance I had! Oh, how I miss that view!
There are all kinds of shops located within 5 min walk: bakery, grocery, fruit and vegetables, Pharmacy, laundry, ATM, restaurants, almost everything you may need is right there. And of course, 3 metro stations are close by to take you all over Paris.
I had made the reservation months ahead of time. During the months leading up to our trip Magda and I had corresponded by texting at intervals. She answered all my questions. She also made sure she was available for any questions we might have while in Paris. This might be especially important to somebody who has never been to Paris. Yes, you’re in a foreign country, but there’s help if you need it!
My husband and I hope to return some day. Meanwhile we hope you will enjoy Magda’s apartment as much as we did!
