Chantal and her family are really charming hosts. They went out of their way to feel us welcome: from Champagne and food in the fridge, to taking their time to walk with us around to show the best restaurants and shops in the neighbourhood.
Chantal's place is in 17th arrondissement which is a quiet non-touristic district with historic architecture. Neighbourhood is safe and has many shops and places to eat. It takes about half an hour by public transport to all major attractions in the city.
The apartment is located in historic building. It is bright with beautiful views from both bedrooms and from living room. The apartment has all amenities, including dishwasher and washing machine, and is tidy and clean. This is a typical Parisian apartment with a soul, but also with some limitations coming from the building age, such as a somewhat narrow stairs or small toilet.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this place for both couples and small family groups!
