Perfect!
Gilles' place is convenient, providing all the facilities I needed for self catering. The photos of the apartment clearly show the apartment as it is. Its position is simple for access to supermarkets and restaurants, boulangeries, pâtisseries and the laundromat. The place provides you with independence. Easy access to public transport - I walked everywhere. Particularly easy to get from Gare du Nord. Communication and organisation was simple and clear. The apartment has a warm comforting feeling of someone's home. To start and end each day looking over the terracotta chimney pot roofs to Sacré Cœr in the distance is uplifting and relaxing.
You can read all about this in all the positive reviews for Gilles and Natalie.
Why did I decide to book with Gilles?
I came to Paris to experience Paris. Although I like my independence I wanted to feel connected to the people whose place I was staying. One review in particular instantly hooked me. It spoke to me about the values of Gilles and Natalie. During a traumatic event in Paris the concern shown by Gilles and Natalie for the welfare of the lodgers was amazing.
I was lucky enough to spend some time with Gilles and Natalie. They are very caring, warm and intelligent people. For me this is evident in the space they have created in the apartment.
I loved Paris.
I'm am returning next year.
I know where I want to stay and will work my visit around Gilles' apartment's availability.
