We could not have been happier with our day at Vivian’s. Traveling to Paris for the first time we were unsure what to expect but the apartment is absolutely adorable and secluded from the street with a quaint courtyard and and flowers, but right our side the gate there are all the shops you could possibly want. Less than a minute walk from a bakery for your morning pastries and a metro station right around the corner. Vivian was very responsive and accommodating, although we did not get to meet her, her son got us settled in and could not have been a better host. He made us juice and gave us recommendations on where to eat near by. He sent us to a delicious place right in the canal, only a three minute walk. The place is small but it was all that we needed. You are in Paris, you shouldn’t be spending to much time in your room anyway. Could not recommend this place more! Thank you for everything Vivian I hope we make it back to stay with you again!
