Our host was very welcoming and provided lots of information to help us find the apartment and make us feel at home. The apartment itself was as described and was great for us and our three young children. The view from the balcony gave us a feel for being in a 'real' part of Paris and we had some lovely sunrises to wake up to! Proximity to the metro for getting in and around Paris was great. Being close to various neighbourhood shops for supplies was good too and everyone was very friendly.
