We selected Edgar's flat after reading the views and it was just as we had hoped and expected. The location is one a lovely street with food stands, the local grocery stores, fabulous restaurants, wine shops, fromageries, boulangeries, patisseries, pharmacies, a church, and the metro. Everything you need is in this neighborhood. The neighborhood is safe and at times we let our teenager walk up and down the blocks by herself to window shop and take pictures.
The flat is also walking distance to the Sacre Coeure.
Every day we would open our windows to receive a wonderful breeze and hear the sounds of this bustling neighborhood. We loved that we weren't in the touristy parts of Paris, however we still had all the amenities we needed for our trip.
Like other comments, there is noise from a nearby restaurant at night but ear plugs did the trick.
Edgar was warm, hospitable, and extremely communicative. He ensured that we had a memorable and pleasant trip. We have been home for two days now and we all wish we were back at Edgar's flat.
Paris is truly a special place and Edgar's home adds to a complete and special experience. We look forward to coming back.
