XIXème arrondissement - apartment in residence, 200m from the metro

We were made to feel at home by our host, Mr. Vu. The location of the apartment was perfect for exploring all of the 19th on foot, or more of Paris by nearby metro. The kitchen was well stocked, beds were comfortable, and the beautiful plants and artwork made the apartment a very pleasant experience. We would gladly visit again.

Place was beautiful, comfortable and homey! We were close to grocery stores and the metro which was essential with two kids under 8. Loved the neighborhood and felt very safe!

We had a great stay. Our host was there to greet us and show us around the apartment. The apartment is well equipped and very cozy. There is a Monoprix across the street for easy grocery shopping as well. The metro is a five minute walk.

The apartment was well stoked and furnished with everything you need to feel at home. It was close to the metro and directly across the street from a grocery store which was very convenient. The host was friendly and very responsive. We were confused about the washer and he was there in five minutes to help us out.

Mr. Vu is an excellent host. He explained the apartment and surrounding area well. He was very patient with my very marginal French language skills. The apartment was a nice size for myself and my two teens. Close to Lumiere Metro station. @ 30 minutes from the major Parisian tourist attractions. The Metro trains run every 2-3 minutes on average; RER trains also run frequently. There is a very good bakery about two blocks away on Rue de Meaux, and a good creperie is nearby as well. If you think you're going to use the washing machine, make sure to ask for a tutorial as French washing machines are VERY different than those in the United States and there's a definite learning curve. Regarding the 19th arrondissement, one might see some reviews of the 19th as 'bad' or 'unsafe'. I never felt unsafe in this neighborhood in the 19th arr. Can't speak to other neighborhoods in the 19th. It strikes me as being an eclectic mix of young people and immigrants. Definitely not as touristy as other areas, and to us, that was a good thing. There's much more to Paris than the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower. I recommend this apartment and this host.
