Our host :

Hugues is a really gracious host and his hospitality has left a deep impression on my partner and I. First off, we arrived on one of the hottest days in Paris' history and asked if the flat had a fan (which it didn't). We were fine with it. However, Hugues went out of his way to buy a fan for the unit - a move that really touched us. He also knows the area really well and showed us what to do and where to go and how to get around as soon as we arrived.

The unit :

Its location is extremely convenient, particularly if you don't want to be close to touristy areas, yet still have access to them when you want to. One bus takes you to the Louvre. There is a market nearby that happens 3 times a week; supermarkets, bakeries, cafés etc - all within a few minutes' stroll. The best thing about the unit - Parc des Buttes Chaumont!

The flat was also very clean, well-equipped and best of all - on the ground floor (great for heavy luggage at the end of our trip)!
