I didn't get to meet Mathilde for very long but she was very friendly and welcoming and her place was absolutely perfect! I had my own Parisian apartment for the weekend - it is close to transit, the view is beautiful and she left me with some breakfast snacks, coffee and tea. I felt like I was a local for the weekend. There are plenty of restaurants around and grocery stores. Overall, it was clean, quiet and very convenient. I loved it!!
