Julien’s flat was a great home base for traveling around Paris. The view from the flat is so beautiful, overlooking the Buttes Chaumont Park and you can even see the Eiffel Tower. The neighborhood was really quiet and family-oriented it seemed, which was so nice when returning from the hustle and bustle of the city center. The only thing I would note is the apartment is 7 flights up, so if you are traveling with the elderly or with people who have mobility issues, you may want to take that into account. The metro was 5 mins away and there were plenty of grocery stores and shops nearby. Julien’s flat also had a lot of homey/comforting touches—beautiful books and plants everywhere. Would highly recommend!
