Matt and I chose the perfect place for our 5 week stay in Paris! Since we were visiting for so long, I was concerned about finding friendly hosts and a comfortable place where we could feel a bit more at home, and Fan & Nam's place was a great match.
Fan & Nam were so friendly and helpful our whole visit. They were fun to chat with in the evenings when we stayed in, and they were full of advice on navigating the city and France in general. They travel a lot themselves (their fridge is covered in cute souvenir magnets!) and they are excited to share their experiences and recommendations. Nam is an excellent baker and frequently made little treats for us to share.
The place itself was very convenient and pleasant as well. Foremost, it is located within <5 min walk of multiple transit lines that connect you to all of Paris. Paris is also quite walkable, and there are many beautiful parks nearby. We frequently picked up some wine, bread, and cheese from the boulangerie and market below their apartment and walked to Parc Montsouris for a picnic. There were many excellent restaurants within a 5 minute radius of their place as well.
Inside the home, we had everything we could ask for. The bed was comfortable for two people, there was a closet and a desk, an efficient heater, and a large window to let in sunlight and fresh air with drapes when we wanted privacy. The kitchen was very well stocked with an oven and range, pots and pans, air fryer, rice maker... anything you might need to cook, they have; plus they gave us dedicated space in the pantry and the fridge. With the Carrefour market right downstairs, this was incredibly useful for us because it meant we didn't have to eat out every night.
The bathroom and shower room were combined, and it was much larger than most other homes we visited during our stay, and included a washing machine. Even with four people in the house we never ran out of hot water, and the shower was spacious and always clean.
In summary, I highly recommend staying with Fan & Nam in their lovely home. Matt and I have already decided that if we return to Paris, we will stay with them again!
