Staying in Carole and Lisa’s flat in the 19th arrondissement was a truly Parisian and charming experience. The room is well decorated with beautiful old furniture and a grand window towards the quiet courtyard, making it calm and cool on warm summer days due to its north-facing position. I truly enjoyed my morning coffees on the balcony overlooking the beautiful Parc des Buttes-Chaumont, with their cat Fouslebazar lying at my feet. The area has a lot to offer, with the park, the charming Belleville-neighbourhood and the Canal Saint-Martin all within easy walking distance. The city centre is a 20 minute bike ride down hill from the flat and is easily accessible with the metro. I would love to come back another time!
