This was my first trip to Paris as part of a trip through Europe. My 20 year old son and I stayed in Paris for 4 days. Stephan and Marina were absolutely wonderful hosts. The flat is centrally located and incredibly accessible to everything we wanted to see.
Although we didn't meet Marina because she was out of town during our visit, she and Stephan responded immediately to any questions we had before our trip. They gave us excellent directions to their flat from Gare du Nord train station. Check in was seamless. Stephan met us, took us to the room and gave us printed instructions for the flat. He went over everything with us and gave us a map of the local area complete with their favorite hotspots for dining, bars, shopping and groceries. Stephan was very responsive during our stay and offered additional information and recommendations. One of the restaurants they recommended is the oldest restaurant in Paris. The food was excellent, it was chock full of history, and my son (who loves history) and I enjoyed it immensely.
I twisted my ankle a day into our trip and Stephan came by with Tylenol, let me know where to find the local pharmacy and cracked open the first aid kit so I could wrap my ankle. Our stay was incredibly enjoyable because of these lovely hosts and it was a pleasure getting to know Stephan. I'm already planning my trip back to Paris and I will definitely stay here again! I cannot say enough good things about Stephan and Marina. This small flat was absolutely perfect for our needs. The listing says it's suitable for 1 person, but my son and I had no problem sharing the space. We didn't cook but they provided us with all the necessities (pots, pans, spices) had we wanted to do so. They even had laundry detergent for us so we could do our wash and directed us to the nearest laundromat. If you have the opportunity to stay in their flat, I highly recommend it. Not only will you be in a perfect location in Paris, but you will meet these wonderful people!
