Where do I start?! Staying with José, Carmen and Garance for one week in Paris was such a pleasure. Communication prior to my stay was easy and reliable, with José emailing me an information pack full of thoughtful and helpful tips for staying in and getting around Paris. They welcomed me with warm smiles and tasty treats after a long journey from Australia, making me feel immediately at home and settled. The use of a local iPhone was of invaluable assistance. Simple breakfast and tea/coffee were provided each morning with a yummy selection of pastries on the weekend. José and Carmen were able to answer any questions I had and provide knowledgeable local insight, but at the same time providing plenty of privacy. I was lucky enough for them to host me for a scrumptious dinner on my final night, it was lovely to spend time discussing various things about our lifestyles. The flat itself is huge, you won't find one bigger in Paris. The bathroom is tiny but added to the experience! The locations is great, easy to find in a taxi from the airport, 60 second walk from Pigalle Metro, and in a lovely area with plenty to see and do. As a solo young female traveller I did not once feel unsafe at all in the area. Thank you, José, Carmen and Garance for opening your home to me for my stay! I loved living like a true Parisian for a week! I hope to stay with them when I'm next in Paris and thoroughly recommend this listing to anyone wanting to encounter an amazing Parisian experience!
