We are two female science researchers from France. We are in our middle 30's both professionally employed.
We prefer to visit the more artist side of a city and to experience a more local style of environment. We also like to eat in restaurants and cafes which are innovative in style.
I had a wonderful time in Paris. The apartment was great, in a great area Montreuil and everything was just perfect. I could not have asked for better hosts. Thank you so very much.
September 2010What can we say - fabulous stay with apartment as described no problems whatsoever! The hosts were fun informative and helpful this comes with our highest recommendation 10 out of 10
We enjoyed our stay with Yvette and Krystal. Their apartment was adorable, and they were extremely friendly and hospitable. We were a short walk from several grocery stores, a metro station and a french market. We were definitely pleased with our experience.
Yvette and Christelle were gracious hosts during my recent stay at their apartment in Paris. The room was lovely and quiet, and the rest of the apartment was spacious, comfortable and well-appointed. I loved being able to use the kitchen. Their neighborhood is outside the the really busy parts of the city, so there was less bustle, which was perfect for me. They have a great sense of humor, were generous with their time and information and have a genuine sense of hospitality! Merci!
Everything prepared perfectly, a nice place to stay, a lot of useful information, a very nice and warm welcome in the big city .. what else could one expect to have a great vacation. Thanks to Yvette
Lovely stay in a perfect apartment for a couple. Unprepossessing, quiet surroundings - definitiely not a bustling Parisian streetscape if thats what you are seeking - but Flo was very helpful and welcoming then left us (at our choice) to ourselves and we enjoyed every minute. Couldnt believe how peaceful and quiet it was...on a warm summer day you will think you are in India or North Africa rather than 20 minutes by metro from central Paris. Bewarned...If you are a bibliophile you may not... More »
We stayed in the colorful 1-bedroom apartment. Yvette is a very nice lady, full of spirit and very friendly. The apartment is nicely decorate, clean, warm and loving. Beware that it's outside of the 20 districts of Paris, at the end of Metro 9, in a quiet suburb. If this is what you want, that's great but if busy and romantic Paris is what you envisioned, this is not it.
Shiva and I had a wonderful time at Yvette's place. Yvette is a marvellous person ,very open minded and warm. She was giving us all sorts of extremely helpful information that we could not survive without in Paris:-)...My boyfriend and I felt very welcomed and comfortable. Thank you....:-)
Stayed in the Colorful 1 Bedroom Apartment and loved every second of it. It was the perfect location for our month long stay. The apartment it self was very bohemian and roomy. The area in Montreuil was nice and quiet. Perfect for escaping the bustle of Paris. There are plenty of grocery stores, bakeries, and markets within 5-10min. The train station is a 2 min walk away, and short ride to Nation, a perfect hub station to get pretty much anywhere in Paris quickly. The highlight of... More »
I loved staying with Yvette and Christelle. They were both so helpful! The room was in a nice, quiet neighborhood, but very close to the metro station. I had easy access to anywhere within the city center! There was also a grocery store and bakery really close to their apartment. Yvette and Christelle could not have been better. I had access to their kitchen, a comfortable bed, and even a computer with internet! As a young fremale, I felt very safe! Yvette and Christelle helped me decide... More »
We had a very nice stay! Nice house and nice people =D looking forward to another stay in Yvette and Crystal's house for holiday!
We had a wonderful time with Ivette and Chrystel! First time in Paris - and you feel like at home! First time meeting Ivette and Chrystel - you feel like to be an one family! So friendly, warm, nice in all ways girls!! There is no enough words to express our feelings to be hosted by them... Great! Amazing!... And the place - clean and bright, with all equipment you need and more, 2 min walk to metro and 1 min walk to supermarket, bakery, restaurant. The same time very quiet and safe area!... More »
It was really nice to stay with such host as Yvett and Chrystel were. Indeed I faced friendly attitude and hospitality of the French women. I think they are an example of the French women whose golden deeds glorifies France in the world. Through this friendly atmosphere one can feel himself at his own family No doubts I will stay in their room in my next visit to Paris
I had a great time here; Yvette and Krystal did treat me like a friend, if fact they invited me to Yvettes studio for a big party. it is not in the heart of paris, but it is easily accessed by public transportation. I felt safe coming home in the evening as a single girl.
We had a perfect trip at Yvette and Krystals place. Our room was very comfortable for two people and we were thrilled with the fact that we had full use of the kitchen (stove, cookware, dishwasher, fridge, etc.)! The girls welcomed us very warmly and treated us like friends rather than like "paying customers." Montreuil was very easy to access from the Metro and MUCH better than staying in a run-down hotel in Montmartre..... If you are still weighing your options, pick this place!
From the start, Yvette and Katy have been very kind to us. Helping us out with the direction not only around Paris but also the most cost-effective way to get to Disneyland. You'll get tips that you don't get in those travel books especially on where to go. They are very kind and nice to us - we had a great time talking with each other and sharing stories. We really wish we could stay longer! With regards to the apartment, it is very clean and neat. You will feel like home at their... More »
We had an amazing time, would definitely recommend it.
These ladies were perfect guests one would imagine to have. They were nice, polite, respectful, and truly easy to have around. I am so grateful and honoured to have such a luck to have these kinds of guests staying at my house. I would highly recommend these guests to everyone. Tatiana
September 2011A 5 ***** experience! We were happy to meet Yvette and Krystal and have them stay in our home. They are on one adventure after then next and it was fun talking with them about all of their endeavors! Good luck to you in everything!
