Emilien is a very approachable and considerate host. He kept in contact with us and answered our queries during our stay. His apartment is in a great location along the interesting canal and near many Metros. We enjoyed the local area as well as the city of Paris. The apartment had many points of interest including a very special fireplace (not for use but decorative) and the marvellous view of the canal and the boats. There is a lift but it is only one floor up and the block is very secure. There are many eating venues, shops and services just a short walk away. We enthusiastically recommend this BnB for a great Parisian experience. Janet from Australia
