My stay in Romains flat was wonderful. It is 2 mins from the tube, next to an upmarket shopping centre and really close to local brasseries and bars. Given all this you would expect it to be pretty noisy, but no, once you gave closed the courtyard door, it's super quiet. Wonderful.

Both Romain and Laurent were friendly and well organised, making contact ahead of our arrival to check on our travel progress and keeping in touch while we were there.

Littke tip.... Paris is empty the first two weeks of August as everyone heads to the coast.....sure some restaurants and shops close, but the upside is that the queues are almost non existent ( except at Versailles) and walking is a pleasure.
