“I stayed at Nathalie' place for a week in December 2019 with my 13 year old twins and we were very comfortable with our own bedrooms. After coming back home to USA, I asked my kids what did they think of our accommodation in Paris and their response was it felt like home. Just what I was hoping they would say as I felt at home too. Location is very convenient with easy access to public transportation, shops and restaurants. We felt safe and were not apprehensive in walking home late at night. We hardly saw any neighbors and when we did they were kind and pleasant. We had a wonderful time in Paris and when we return in a few years, we hope to stay with Nathalie again.”

About our home
Our flat is situated on the fourth and fifth floors (without a lift) in a central area of Paris, just a few minutes' walk from the Métro/bus and a few stops from the center of town. The flat is a typical Haussmanian apartment built at the turn of the century. There is a lively Parisian feel to the neighborhood with delicious food shops, restaurants, cafés, pâtisseries and the proverbial Parisian food market twice a week. It's also within walking distance from one of the best flea markets in the world.

“In Nathalie's apartement we felt like home. It is a quite, clean and comfortable apartement well connected by metro to all the main attractions of Paris, Nathalie is very kind and we had a perfect communication. We had unforgetable momments in Paris at Christmas. We wish we come back. Thank you very much Nathalie.”
“Though we arrived in the Europe heatwave., Nathalie did everything possible to make our stay really enjoyable. Of all the maps Nathalie’s hand drawn one was the most useful!! Having only a week we looked on the internet and found Your Daily Driver which was great - we booked him for four hours and agreed a list of things to show us and he waited while we had lunch in St Germain! We went to see Moulin Rouge about 20 minute walk from the apartment. The stairs to the fourth floor were tricky as my knee Arthritis decided to act up in the heat but for my husband they were fine. I highly recommend this very central and comfortable apartment in he heart of Paris. Thanks Nathalie! ”
“Nathalie and TIm’s apartment was lovely, close to the metro and just a 10-12 min walk to Sacre Couer. The beds were really comfortable and their CD collection is outstanding. Paris was unusually hot, and there was no A/C but we did have fans and took cool showers before bed. The kitchen had everything you need and there are two grocery stores within 2 blocks. Natalie had lots of guide books, etc and her recommendations for dinner were terrific. I loved how safe the neighborhood was and how many great bakeries there were around Montmartre. We had a fabulous time and would definitely stay with Nathalie and Tim again if we return to Paris!”
“Nathalie's apartment is in an excellent location with easy access by bus or metro to the main sights of Paris and walking distance to the Sacre coeur. The area is friendly with lots of great restaurant and bars. The apartment is lovely and was very clean. It was perfect for our family. The stairs to the apartment were good training for climbing the stairs of the Eiffel Tower. ”
“Nathalie is a great host. Although we haven't met in person, the communication was quick and easy and it feels like we got to know her. The flat is beautiful and wonderfully located, surrounded by very Parisian cafes and restaurants, yet quiet. You can easily walk from the flat to 2 metro lines and all main attractions of Montmartre. There are 2 bathrooms so no disputes over who goes in first. Lovely sound system in the living room and the family's impressive music collection made our evenings very pleasant. The flat was clean, sheets and towels were ready for us when we arrived along with detailed instructions in case we needed anything. To reach the flat you have to go up quite a few steps which was hard at first, but by the end of the trip we became so fit that we were able to climb those stairs without much effort. Nathalie did pre-warn us about it, so it wasn't an issue. Having said that, the flat would not be suitable for people with any mobility issues. ”
“Nathalie is a fantastic host. She is very communicative and helpful. The flat is located about a 10-15 minute walk from the chic parts of Montmartre, so you can easily walk to the restaurants there or stroll the curving streets of the hill. There is a lot of transit nearby and groceries are plentiful. I even enjoyed the four flight climb to the flat's front door. Good exercise! We had a great two weeks in Paris thanks to Nathali's kind hosting. ”
“We (four adults) stayed at Nathalie’s apartment in Paris just before Christmas for two nights. The housekeeper met us outside the apartment and showed us around. The accommodation, which is over two floors, is very comfortable for four people; each couple had a double bedroom and there are also another two single rooms. It is very well located with a bus stop practically outside the building and plenty of restaurants locally. Despite being in a busy area, we found the street quiet at night and the apartment was well insulated and warm. The apartment is on the fourth floor so it is a bit of a climb and there’s no lift. Unfortunately one of the toilets was out of use when we were there but there are two bathrooms. We enjoyed our stay and are happy to recommend the apartment to other exchangers wanting to explore Paris. ”
“Nathalie was a perfect host, she was a brilliant communicator and attended to every call and message with priority. The flat was full of character, very stylish and very distinguished. The location was very convenient for shopping and sightseeing and access to buses and metro. The sleeping arrangements were perfectly clean and welcoming. The bathrooms and kitchen, the hearts of the home were brand new and of a very high standard. Overall a perfect X mass destination. Thank you very much Nathalie and family!! ”
“Wonderful home from home swap. Natalie was so kind and considerate in thinking about arrival details etc. the apartment is charming and in a wonderful location. The apartment is on the fourth floor and there is no lift which was not a problem for us at all but good to know if you are at all infirm. A wonderful host and a fabulous apartment. We could walk to all the great Paris sights within 30 mins from the apartment and it's on great bus routes and near metros if you prefer to take transport.”
“We really enjoyed our stay in this fabulous location, walking distance to the Sacre Coeur and the fashion shops of Monmatre, and all the amenities of a boulangerie, boucherie, fruit and veg shops, supermarkets and restaurants right on the doorstep. Also good metro and bus links to the rest of Paris. The apartment was charming, clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. Beds very comfortable and excellent shower in bathroom. Nathalie was great with communication before and during our stay, always responding quickly to emails and gave good instructions to find the property, how everything works and how to find our way round the neighborhood. Overall would thoroughly recommend staying here to enjoy and explore Paris.”
“Nathalie and Tim (and the boys) were great guests.... they looked after the gite really well and it was a pleasure to host them. Thoroughly recommended! ”
