We had a wonderful three-week long stay in Benjamin’s lovely apartment. The welcome was warm, generous and friendly, the views from the balcony fabulous and ever-changing and we had everything we needed for cooking the great food we bought in the market at Place des Fêtes. Communication with our host was easy and efficient and the recommendations for good places to eat were perfect. Finally, I can’t say enough about the Buttes Chaumont district and the 19th arrondissement in general - the most beautiful and best used park I’ve ever known on the doorstep, great cafes, bakeries and restaurants and friendly people from all walks of life. It’s the real Paris, with easy access to all the mainstream tourist attractions. For me, it felt like living in Paris for a short while and I loved it. Thank you Benjamin!
