Francine's flat is a little jewel for a single person or couple visiting or working in Paris. Tastefully renovated, it is well organised and beautifully equipped. The size is not bad at all by Paris standards and its location in the 15th arrondissement allows the visitor to get a real feel of life in the city (make sure you take advantage of an exceptional boulangerie downstairs, there is a supermarket round the corner as well as a number of nice restaurants around). A short walk to two metro stations and with nearby bus stops it is also ideally situated for getting into the centre of the capital quickly and easily. Despite the fact that it faces onto the inner courtyard rather than the road - in the summer with the windows open, I still found there is quite a lot of traffic noise and the sounds of neighbourhood activity, so if you are noise averse it is probably best to keep the windows shut (there is a fan). All in all however, Francine's flat was a wonderful accommodation solution providing me with a base during a full and busy work schedule. I thoroughly recommend it! (Very good wifi too, crucial for those working on the wing!).
