We felt so at home at JP and family’s flat in Paris. It was like staying at the home of long-time friends. JP was amazing at communicating and even gave us a video call orientation of the flat when we arrived, taking time out of his own holiday to do so. It was very helpful to know where everything was and all about the amenities.
The flat is very large - it has three bedrooms so it’s perfect for a family. JP’S kids were generous enough to share their toys with us while we were there, and it made it easy to keep our kids entertained while at the flat.
Paris was hot when we visited at up to 36C but JP’S flat was so cool. We never felt stifled by the heat at all. There is very good airflow through the flat, so opening the (very large) windows in the morning and evening cooled us down perfectly.
The flat is located on a very quiet side street in an otherwise busy neighborhood of Paris. We never heard any street noise at all besides the very occasional motorbike passing up the street. It was such a welcome respite after a busy and noisy day touring Paris. We would come home, enjoy a quiet dinner, and then a glass of wine on the very large terrace - who could ask for anything more than that?
The building is very, very secure and we felt safe both at the flat and in the neighbourhood around the flat. There is a very nice park and playground close by as well that was a great way to burn off the last bit of energy for the day.
It is less than 5 minutes to walk to the Metro to get anywhere you’d need to go. The flat is very well located in a neighborhood with grocery stores, restaurants, bakeries, and any other amenity you could possibly think of. There are also a lot of families in the neighbouring buildings.
I honestly can’t say enough good things about our stay. JP was more than generous encouraging us to make use of the coffee, tea, very extensive honey collection, and all other amenities and condiments in the kitchen.
This was a wonderful way to spend time in Paris. Consider yourself lucky if JP’S flat is available - it’s absolutely amazing!
