Geoffroy met me at the property. He was pleasant and explained how some of the appliances worked. He mentioned one local restaurant and the excellent Boulangerie nearby.
The flat is a good size, well furnished and comfortable to be in, with a splendid view over the roofs and the rest of Paris beyond. It’s also quiet at night. The 6 flights of stairs were a bit daunting the first time, but proved a useful exercise. Don’t be put off!
The area is very lively, with dozens of restaurants, bars and cafés. It was a joy discovering more of this part of Paris. There are 3 nearby metro stations. It is also an easy walk into the centre.
All in all, I had a really enjoyable time staying at Geoffroy’s apartment and loved being in this vibrant and interesting part of Paris.
