Grégoire deserves nothing less than full marks for providing fabulously tasteful accommodation in a thrivingly cosmopolitan area of Paris that ensured, even after a week, we left wanting more. The elegant blend of old and new furniture, the comprehensively-equipped kitchen, a home full of books and a large terrace with views of La Tour Eiffel ensure that this will never feel like temporary holiday accommodation but more of a luxurious second home.

His communication and overall assistance was impeccable to be honest which helped us book and plan the trip with confidence. Everything was as expected and the only surprises were pleasant ones. This was our first time using Airbnb and it was faultless.

The neighbourhood felt extremely safe. The apartment is located on a side-street off Rue des Martyrs, a street packed with artisan boulangeries, pâtisseries, fromageries, épiceries and multiple chocolateries making it a gastronome’s paradise. The Rue des Martyrs then runs straight up to the Sacré-Cœur. An internet search of the street name throws up some useful articles I notice.

This apartment made our stay feel very special and resulted in an inspirational holiday for us and our six year-old daughter. If you want to live like a sophisticated Parisienne with all the cultural charms of this elegant city on your doorstep I would think that Grégoire’s place is pretty hard to beat.
