Neighbourhood
Within 2 minutes walking, you have 2 amazing French bakeries, 3 supermarkets (1 bio market), banks, two Italian restaurants, and Asia traiteur, etc. Across the street is a train station that takes you right to Paris (both La Defense and Paris-Saint Lazare). Also across the street is an entrance to Parc Saint Cloud, a huge park with a hobby farm (full of goats, sheep, and twice a week the farm sells produce grown on site). Great place to bike around, a VELIB' station is across the street. Versailles is easily accessible too. We bike to Versailles regularly.

We just returned from a fantastic week at Filpa’s apartment. We arrived to a wonderful array of home made treats, which was such a lovely welcome! The apartment had everything we needed and was perfectly located for easy trips into Paris and Versailles, and we loved the local bakery, supermarkets and park. Filipa’s detailed recommendations were super helpful and we enjoyed a great range of activities, from exhibitions to swimming in the Seine. A fabulous stay, thank you Filipa and family! -
Filipa's home is lovely and so comfortable! It is in an excellent location for visiting the environs of Paris, and gives the feeling of living like a local. It is biking distance to everything, and also directly across the street from the train. Thank you Filipa and family for sharing your beautiful home with us! -
What a great place! Ideally located for public transport, we had the opportunity to explore Paris, while basing out of her spacious, super-comfortable, and wonderfully decorated home. Everything you could need is within easy walking distance, including a big weekly farmers market just up the hill. Filipa is kind and generous, responsive and fun. She left very clear notes on how things work in her home, as well as excellent recommendations for places to go and things to do. A great PLU experience! Thank you, Filipa!

Filipa was such an incredible host. Communication was clear and thoughtful, and her home manual and suggestions were so helpful. She even had a friend meet us to welcome us to her home and walk us through how to get into the appartment. The home is lovely and I can't say enough about the location. There are two supermarkets directly downstairs, and it is on the corner of the main street with all of the French specialty shops that we love. Best of all, Filipa's home is directly across from the train station which puts you into La Defense and easy connections to metro lines in only 8 minutes. Thank you so much for hosting us, Filipa! -
We had a wonderful exchange in Paris. The communication with our hosts was excellent; they were very friendly and all arrangements were perfectly clear. The beautiful apartment was a delight. It was spacious, with separate rooms for our sons, and it smelled lovely upon arrival. The large, well-equipped kitchen was a highlight, it's clear there's a chef in the house! The apartment is tidy and features a warm decor filled with beautiful souvenirs and art. We were welcomed with a delicious homemade banana bread and really appreciated the thoughtful extras, such as the passes for the local swimming pool, library, and the Navigo travel cards. The location is incredibly convenient, right across from the station. You just have to cross the street to catch a train, giving you immediate access to the fantastic Parisian public transport system. Since we traveled from Amsterdam by train, this was ideal. Using the provided Navigo passes and the app was very easy, with no need for paper tickets. Furthermore, there are two amazing bakeries just around the corner for fresh croissants and bread each morning, and a supermarket conveniently located right below the apartment. Everything we needed was within easy reach. Highly recommended! -
Due to our own circumstances, we were able to spend only one night at Filipa's beautiful place near Paris. However, we really liked the chill vibe and beautiful architecture of Garghes. Their home is very spacious and peaceful. Thank you Filipa for your hospitality! -
Filipa's home is conviniently located by a train station taking you anywhere you want in Paris, while having the largest backyard ever (Bois de Saint-Cloud)! We were 6 persons over 13 years old and the flat is big enough. We wish Seb and Filipa many happy exchanges! -
Filipa's home is a great place for those who want to get away from the chaos and crowdedness of city life. The train station is conveniently across the street, yet, it's a quiet and calm neighborhood! The home is also located across from Parc de Saint Cloud as well, which is a gorgeous green space— including a farm!— where you can go on walks, bike rides, picnics, etc. This home is child-friendly (lift available, space, wide doors, etc.), and it is a cozy, comfortable place with wonderful decor from their travels and living overseas. Filipa is very organized, thoughtful and communicative, so everything was explained clearly; there was no confusion about anything. Although she does not have young children, she made sure that the space would suit our family's needs. Highly recommend for those who want access to green space but be a train ride away from Paris! -
Filipa And Sébastien were wonderful hosts and there home was a perfect oasis for our Parisian holiday. Their apartment is clean and comfortable. It’s so helpful to have the Monoprix grocery just downstairs and to be right across the street from the train into Paris. We loved the little town of Garches as it was quiet and safe, yet so easy to get into the city. I would be happy to have the opportunity to exchange with them again!
