Where to start?
Firstly, Vincent’s space is located in an extremely convenient part of the city where the subway is steps away. Getting around Paris is virtually fool proof (once you get the hang of it). Secondly, the apartment itself is small but quaint, CLEAN and provides a very “European” feel; many books about travel, art, history, etc. alongside interesting art pieces collected from the hosts personal travels - more than enough stimulation to keep you well entertained and informed for the time that’s spent inside the apartment - although, any traveler would agree, exploring the city is the main objective. Also, THE VIEW OUTSIDE THE WINDOW!! The Eiffel Tower is in full view and it’s surreal watching it twinkle at night.
For those traveling without data, there is a McDonalds literally right across the street; providing free wifi access and late night food cravings when all else is closed.
Our host Vincent was over all wonderful, naturally hospitable and a great conversationalist; super interesting, informative, and artistically influenced. We would share a drink in the evenings if we were home before he was asleep and he went as far as prepare us a fig dessert on our departure day. Thoughtful touches that made us feel at home, yet detailed enough to make you feel as if you were somewhere “extra special”. Overall unbeatable for this price point.
Thank you Vincent for making our first trip to Paris extraordinarily memorable and we hope to visit again soon. Highly recommended! We wish you all the best.
