From greeting to goodbyes, Hélène and Alain made me feel welcome and comfortable. They are very gracious, fun and engaging with many really good suggestions about discovering special parts of Paris that you might not discover otherwise. This was the first time I’ve stayed in the 12 Arrondissement and I really loved it. There are less tourists, good cheese and bread shops and a really nice outdoor market. The metro stop is close by, so I could easily get to all the places I wanted to visit. If I’m traveling solo, this is my first choice to stay from now on!
