Françoise was a perfect host - very communicative and welcoming when we arrived. As there is a private entrance, we didn't run into them during our stay, but Françoise was always in touch to check we had everything we needed. The room and bathroom are very clean, tidy and comfortable and the mini kitchen facilities are really useful for preparing quick breakfasts and drinks. Françoise provided assorted breads, butter and jam which was perfect. The neighbourhood is fantastic with loads of bars and restaurants nearby on the Rue Oberkampf, although the apartment itself is on a very quiet side street. We recommend La Fine Mousse for craft beer and charcuterie plates and Utopie for amazing pastries and bread. Very convenient for the metro and it's possible even to walk into central Paris. Very much recommended.
