If you're in a hurry, read no further, we recommend this as cute and friendly place to stay, well located.

We spent 3 wonderful days and nights in Central Paris. We were looking for somewhere private but friendly, on a tight budget, and Kristina's fit the bill. A chic little room, with a real Parisienne feel. Lovely to stay in a Parisienne household too.

Kristina was very fast and helpful in all communications, and we quickly made our booking. She was there to meet us as promised, and even bought us fresh croissant and pain au chocolat, served up at home with fresh brewed Mariage Freres tea.

It was lovely to meet Kristina, her boyfriend, and her flatmate, and we would happily book to stay again next time we're in town. The location was perfect for us, and we picnicked with locals along the banks of Canal d'Orcq for three evenings in a row. What a great summer vibe! We also enjoyed walking in all the way to the Seine, into the centre of the city, walking in along the canal to get there. Much more fun than a quick tube ride. We took daily runs along the canal side too, along with walks, runs and a picnic at the beautiful Parc des Buttes de Chaumont.

Heading on to our next destination was easy, as Kristina's place is so close to Orcq Metro station.

Recommended? Oh yes! Highly.
