Hands down Pierre & Duncan are topnotch phenomenal hosts. They put a lot of thought and effort into making sure their guests are well-informed and comfortable to ensure your stay is enjoyable and fulfilling. Their description of the apartment and location is spot on – the apartment, location and hospitality exceeded my expectations.
The apartment is clean and welcoming; yes the bed is as comfortable as others have said (I slept like a baby!); the bedroom is spacious and with great natural light; and they have all the amenities to make you feel at home.
The location was ideal for me and easy to get to from CDG, Gare de Lyon, Gare du Nord and Paris Saint Lazare (the Paris metro is great) if you plan to take trips out of Paris. It’s away from touristy areas so you can really appreciate the local culture but super easy to walk, take the metro or use the bike share just a block away to all the exciting attractions. There are many great cafes, restaurants, patisseries, etc within walking distance – you won’t be disappointed!
As a solo female traveler, I felt incredibly safe/comfortable in the apartment and safe walking around the neighborhood enjoying all it had to offer morning, day and night.
To top it all off, Pierre & Duncan are incredibly kind, funny and helpful hosts. They respect your privacy and are engaging. They have great recommendations (I was impressed with the restaurant business cards, brochures and a binder filled with all the info you need for your stay so nicely laid out in the apartment); a picnic bag and blanket for those must do wine/food at Canal Saint Martin, La Seine or the parks/gardens; and are incredibly responsive (so quick and helpful)!
I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend!
Thanks Pierre & Duncan!!
