We had a lovely stay at Brune's apartment, which is exactly as pictured and quite well equipped. The neighbourhood is wonderful though a little bit noisy at night. It was easy to travel by metro to just about any corner of Paris, with the Bastille station just a block or two away. The wine shop downstairs was brilliant, the bakery next door was our first stop each morning, and Brune's list of recommended restaurants was wonderful! And Mme Andre (and her adorable dog Whisky) were so kind and welcoming to us.
