It didn’t take long for us to feel at home at Sumin and Ben’s flat! My husband and I stayed there for just over a week. The flat is exactly as we expected from the description – clean, comfortable, and in a central location. The flat is in a lively neighborhood, convenient to several metro stops and so many good restaurants and cafes. There are a boulangerie, wine shop, and grocery all within a 2-5 minute walk.

Ben’s flat is a relaxing place to be and it made our holiday that much more refreshing. While the flat is smallish (just over 400 sq. ft. - this is typical for a flat in Paris), it has a very nice layout so we didn’t feel on top of each other. The neighborhood has an active nightlife, mostly on the weekends when some street noise could be heard from the open living room windows that look out onto the street - but the bedroom is quiet and cozy, facing away from the street. Keep in mind that it is on the 4th floor, so there are some flights of steps to walk up – but it’s not so bad.

Ben was very responsive and kind during our stay – we didn’t have the opportunity to meet him, his colleague Marc welcomed us and made sure that we were comfortable. If you are looking for a nice, easy place in a central spot while in Paris, we recommend staying here. It was awesome!
