What can we say about Matthieu's apartment that hasn't already been said? Just like the other reviews have mentioned, it was fantastic! Just as pictured, the apartment is very bright and the beds are comfy. We felt at home immediately.
The metro station is literally 10 steps from the front door, and it is a line that will get you very quickly to many of the main tourist attractions. The apartment is far enough away from the hustle and bustle that you don't feel overwhelmed by the number of people, but still close enough to be able to walk anywhere you like. On the first day we wandered the streets checking out the neighborhood, and found ourselves right outside the Pompidou within 25minutes - very easy to walk around.
There are some great food options around the apartment and Matthieu has compiled a great guidebook pointing out some interesting local spots.
He was very happy and quick to help with any questions and as two young women traveling it was comforting to know there was someone to trust just down the hall.
Matthieu was very accommodating with us as we arrived a lot earlier than we had anticipated, he allowed us to come in early to drop our bags off and we were welcomed by a lovely woman who was also enthusiastic to chat about the local scene.
All in all it was a great week, we only have positive things to say about Matthieu and his apartment - we highly recommend it to anyone looking to spend a few nights in Paris while still feeling right at home.
Thank you Matthieu!
