Sabine and Christophe are great hosts. We stayed for 5 nights during December 19 and although it was very cold outside, the apartment was very warm and cosy. The electrical adaptor that was provided was greatly appreciated for charging phones and laptops and there were many other personal touches supplied for our comfort.
The area is well serviced by buses and the Metro. Unfortunately there was a transport strike while we were there but there are plenty of shops, bars and restaurants within walking distance.
