Imelda was an excellent host, going out of her way to get me the key. The apartment is amazing, very big by Paris standards and very clean. There is a superb bakery opposite the street and numerous supermarkets. The restaurants in the area are fantastic as is the whole neighbourhood. I would gladly stay here again!
We had such a lovely stay at Imelda & Francesca's flat. The place was spotless and they even left us some beautiful flowers and delicious cakes and a bottle of champagne as it was my husband's birthday- such a nice touch : )
It was a real home-from-home and really nice to be able to cook with 12 different kinds of chilli sauce! Not many apartments can boast that!
The building is old and beautiful with an amazing almost spiral staircase- which you get a lot of time to admire.

My favorite thing about our trip to Paris was this apartment. It's in a great neighborhood -- more residential, less touristy, but close to several metro stops and easy to get to the main attractions.

Francesca and Imelda were terrific hosts. They were always available by phone or email to answer questions and give recommendations. Their apartment was gorgeous - super clean, no clutter, very modern and comfortable. The neighborhood was terrific. On their block we noticed the following: three amazing restaurants, a delicious boulangerie, a knowledgeable wine merchant, a letterpress printer, a speciality culinary book store, a record store, an oyster bar and a brasserie.

wow... Francesca's and Imelda are fantastic.. From the moment the flat was booked - Francesca was a consummate host with directions from the airport to locations that might work for the project I am working on.
I was treated to a tour of the neighborhood as soon as I had arrived. Francesca educated me on the best vendors at the market, the best bread shop and even a little store to have a dress made for my daughter.
The flat itself was all that I had hoped for. The entire place was... More »
