Virginie's flat was the perfect Parisian home for my sister and I. Although we didn't get to meet Virginie herself, her boyfriend, Arthur, let us into the flat and explained everything we needed to know. There wasn't an elevator in the building, so be prepared to climb the stairs. The space was just the right size for two people. It was clean and stocked with all the amenities listed on the Airbnb listing. The check-in/out times were flexible as well. The flat is located in the Canal St-Martin area and is walking distance to 3 different metro lines and plenty of cafes and restaurants (that are cheaper compared to those in the more touristy areas). There is also a small grocery store located right next to the flat, if you decide to stay in one night and make your own meal! Lastly, Virginie left behind a list of food recommendations in the neighbourhood, as well as a bottle of wine for us!
