Cute little apartment for an amazing price, exactly as shown in the listing. Anna and Philippe were very responsive and prepared a very detailed and helpful blurb for all the ins and outs of their flat. We had some issues with the TV system while we were there but they responded to our emails pretty much immediately. Access to transit was really great, with Gare de Lyon very close by (especially great for us as we took the train from Barcelona and arrived in Gare de Lyon). We loved that they had a little book filled in by guests with tidbits about great local restaurants and places to go, as well as several guidebooks. Lots of little shops available in the area with rotisserie chicken, cheese and bread aplenty. The free international calling and wireless was amazing!

There were a couple of minor watch-outs: The shower is very, very small and the bed is actually two beds pushed together (although that wasn't really an issue for us). The area is a bit "colourful" and may not be the greatest to walk around late at night. We got swindled by an unscrupulous fruit seller at the nearby Rue d'Aligre Market who gave us mouldy peaches, so just be extra careful - the market is a nice place to wander otherwise though.

Thanks Anna & Philippe for hosting us!
