simply summarized.... this place truly was heaven* it was clean and cozy and the view was magical. i had everything i needed in this small apartment and the location was walkable to everywhere in paris. (the metro station was close if i wanted to wander out further via metro). regarding communication both cristina and matteo were on it! so kind. and organized. i was traveling alone and they made sure to send the most detailed easy directions on how to get to their flat and how to enter. how to use their fabulous elevator. and they made sure to let me know that they were there for me if i needed anything or had questions. all of that said... i would recommend this place to all. and if and when i come back to paris (sooner than later)... this will be where i would like to stay again. thank you so much cristina and matteo!!! *
