Ludmiila and Oliver are amazing hosts, that is the best way for me to start. I cannot imagine anyone doing more to encourage the comfort of their guests. The flat is immaculate, the kitchen is well stocked with anything you might need to prepare dinner, and the location is a couple minute walk from the metro. They left us tons of information about places to visit and were amazingly prompt and helpful with all our questions. Oliver met us at the stop and showed us around before taking us back to the flat. They showed us the local fresh fruit and vegetable market that is one block away. I highly recommend the cheese booth. Ludmilla suggested some cheeses that I purchased that were out of this world and the fruit made my daughter go crazy. Fresh and cheap. There is also a fairly large grocery not too far away. We prepared dinner in the flat almost every night, however there are restaurants all around, as well as several carry out places. A short walk up to Monte Marte was something we did almost every night. The neighborhood is wonderful and we felt very safe in it. This is not really the tourist area, so you get to experience what it is like to really live in Paris. With that being said the metro line 4, which is right around the corner, can get you to the center of town incredibly quickly. I cannot say enough good about Ludmilla and Oliver. They are wonderful people and awesome hosts. I give the highest recommendation I can.
