Our family of three stayed in Bani's apartment for the whole month of August and we loved it! The neighborhood is eclectic with LOTS of great restaurants, parks and of course, Père Lachaise nearby. The apartment was one of the more spacious studios I have seen in Paris with a wonderful view, a cross breeze for some fresh air, and room to entertain or just lounge about quietly with a good book. The kitchen is well lit and a pleasure to cook in; the bathroom is tout à fait correct.

The main studio is floored with classic Parisian red tiles that haven't been redone in a while. We really liked that funky style and felt very comfortable there. Our host was SO gracious! Bani arranged for a fold up crib for our daughter and a stroller, which really made our stay enjoyable. Bani also gave us lots of neighborhood recommendations and checked in via email frequently to make sure we had everything we needed.

Thank you Bani for a wonderful stay at Ménilmontant. We miss the place already.
