My hosts were very welcoming when I arrived and showed me around their lovely apartment. The location of the apartment is perfect as a base from which you can sightsee around Paris; it is very close to Metro and RER stations, and there is a Velib bike station just a few meters from the door of the apartment building. The immediate surroundings felt very safe, even late at night. The apartment itself is very pleasant and, being at the top of the building, has nice views across the Paris rooftops. There is a small, well appointed kitchen, but I didn't use it, instead preferring to sample the excellent restaurants nearby. The double bed on the mezzanine floor was very comfortable. I've already decided I'll make this a regular base for future visits to Paris!
