Staying with Gabriela, and her family is to be immediately well-received into a local community in the middle of a cool location, Villette, which offers plenty of cafés, restaurants and other stuff to do, without the central Paris price-tag. We had a smooth welcome, with no problems finding the communauté complex where the apartment is located. We were comfortable in the room with two persons and a dog, and benefitted from plenty of tips from Gabriela's daughter about where we could go in the area. All together a warm space, with a great welcome, and excellent value for the location and amenities. Strong recommendation from us!
