I stayed at Annick's for 5 days. She is a very warm & welcoming person; I had a very happy time in her place. Her flat is as she describes it: private & cosy. You do need to be happy with walking up 4 flights of stairs. Her flat is in a quiet side street, just a 5/6 minute walk from Place de la Republique or 3 minutes from the nearest bus or Metro stop. I hope I may have the chance to go back!
