Stephane’s home is in a buzzy neighbourhood, really convenient for the Gare du Nord and Gare de l’Est and a great base for exploring the city. We loved the area by the canal, which is largely free from traffic, with a variety of good local cafes, a good bakery, convenient small supermarkets nearby. We visited during a very hot week, but the house was cool and comfortable. With the park, with a children’s play area, directly opposite and a range of toys, games and DVDs in the house, it was perfect for a family holiday. Stephane was a great host - the house had everything we needed, and his communication was timely, friendly and clear throughout. In particular, the directions to the house and finding the hidden key were second to none! I wouldn’t hesitate to visit again.
