A charming guest house in a garden 500m from Paris

We love staying in this garden cottage in Malakoff. I fact, this was our second stay. We especially enjoyed the garden terrace on this visit. The air conditioning worked great and was welcome in the recent heat wave. The kitchen has everything you need to cook at home. Restaurants and shops within walking distance. Easy walk to the tram or metro. We also enjoyed pleasant conversations with our hostess.

Property was well kept and had plenty of room for my niece and me. The location was close enough to public transportation for us to go into Paris without a hassle. The hostess was helpful and charming. She provided breakfast for us, as well. Would stay here again.

The house was lovely and just as described. Even though we had some clouds and rain, the house was bright and cheerful. It was delightful meeting Dominique - she is kind and thoughtful, and made my stay a wonderful experience.

My husband and I spent a week in Dominique’s lovely garden house, which was immaculately clean, spacious, quiet and very comfortable with a well-appointed kitchen. The garden is truly an oasis. The AC was appreciated during a few hot days in Paris. Having a washer was a bonus, and the drying racks provided were handy. Dominique was very responsive to communications, very welcoming and provided lots of information on using public transit, etc. We arrived at Gare du Nord and took a taxi to her home, which I highly recommend unless you are familiar with the Paris transit systems. Cost was about 45 euros. Well worth it! There aren’t many restaurants nearby, but there are a Monoprix and a farmers market (Wed, Sat, Sun) very close by. Access to public transit is good, but note it is a ten or fifteen walk to the nearest bus, metro or tram. Once getting acquainted with the various transit options, getting around Paris and surrounding areas was quite easy. We’re both in our mid-70s and managed just fine. We highly recommend Dominique’s for your stay.
