I'm so happy we decided to stay at Rémi's place during our few days in Paris! He greeted us upon arrival and gave us a proper tour and explanation of any questions we had. This was our 4th city in 2 weeks so the laundry machine and homey environment was a much needed change of pace. Every night we biked 6 minutes to the Bastille area where there were lots of cool bars and restaurants, and during the day we could bike right over to the siene and ride next to it almost all the way to the Louvre and Eiffel Tower. The shower and toilet are in separate rooms which can be useful if traveling with a partner or friend. We loved the location as our home base for exploring Paris. We will be back!
