Nicolas and Laurance are charming and gracious hosts who were welcoming and helpful. We arrived very late, but they kept in touch and guided us to the apartment. Always prompt to respond and provide us with whatever we needed, like the blender, the cutting board, etc. They checked in on us often to make sure we have everything we need.

The best thing about the place is the location. It's absolutely perfect - on the main metro line connecting all of the best touristic sites, but itself not touristy, near one of the best street markets in Paris, and full of great vendors. There is a hospital across the street and a fire station. It's a bit noisy when the windows are open, but a small price to pay for being in the middle of all the action!

The apartment itself worked well for us, it had comfortable furniture, tiny but functional kitchen (normal for Paris!), beautiful windows and wooden floors. This was our second time in Paris and we visited specifically to fall in love with the city. It worked. We woke up to views of green trees, had amazing fresh baguettes for breakfast and roamed the city two or three times a day. There are numerous parks and playgrounds nearby. And the best eclairs in the world are within the walking distance (Cyril Lignac).
