Gilian's place is amazing value for money if you are looking for a place for 4-6 people in a very well located area of Paris. The flat is compact but we spent most of our time walking around the city, it was not a big issue. We had enough space to spread our things around (we were six, two children from 9 to 11 years old) and to have breakfast and a light dinner comfortably. An additional greay feature is that although the flat is located near a very busy street with all sorts of restaurants and bars, it is still very quiet. Check-in was flawless and both the location and the entrance system felt very safe, the host is responsive and was attentive to all questions. The decor is simple but it has character and most importantly the flat was quite clean when we arrived, very well taken care of. The only thing I would point out is that ventilation is not very good (not a major issue but it was tricky as we were there during the hottest day of the year and during winter it could get uncomfortable for some). Centainly recommended.
