I had a wonderful stay at Françoise’s flat. The place is lovely & well equipped (kettle, tea, coffee, bottle of water, small chocolates I found in the room as a nice gesture of attention). I did feel like ‘home’ when coming back in the evenings after busy days in Paris. The flat is also in a safe location and surprisingly quiet while still walking distance from la Gare du Nord. Françoise has been an amazing host too, always available to help or answer a question. Would recommend this flat to any solo traveler.
