If you want to live like a local near a metro station and stay in a quiet, very secure apartment in Paris, then Christelle’s place is perfect for you! We loved how she met us the first day and explained all the details about the apartment, even gave recommendations for bakeries, patisseries, stores, and restaurants. She is a very attentive host. It was so nice to come home from a hectic day of sightseeing and crowds in Paris to a quiet meal on the balcony overlooking a lovely courtyard. The apartment is across the street from two supermarkets and there is a farmers’ market every Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday. We were able to save money by cooking a few meals in her well-stocked kitchen. Both the bed and the fold-out sofa made very comfortable beds. And if you are a late sleeper, there is even a roll-down shutter to block out the morning sun.
