Quentin's place is at Rue Oberkampf which is a little away from the crowded neighbourhoods. So you see locals, you can enjoy the quiet and you get to eat and shop in that neighbourhood at reasonable prices. And yet it's very close to the Center in that you never feel you're far off from action.
Quentin is a great host. He is very accommodating and gave us good tips. He's been busy with work and been coming and going but was always available for anything. We had some good conversations and could be better if we weren't exhausted from exploring Paris everyday of our stay.
Quentin has a dog, Aldo. He's the most mannerful and cute one over ever seen. Not experts with pets ourselves, but it was great to just enjoy their relationship. The dogs a total baby!
We'd like to come again if we visit Paris in future.
Tips: When you arrive and don't have a phone connection (like us) make sure to ask Quentin for the security code of the main door and block and apartment number so you can get to his door. Luckily for us, Quentin knew our arrival time and was downstairs to receive us.
