YES!!! Breath taking! An incredible find. This gracious host, a scholar, and academic, offers one of the most lovely homes ever, at a price so fair it is hard to believe. If you are lucky enough to rent here, it is a jewel in hand.

Situated in an historic part of the 13th , it is an easy walk to metro and busses, reaching all of Paris's famous sights. Travel Paris by bus if possible. Sight seeing for pennies enroute.

There aren't enough adjectives to describe Francoise ancestral home and the gifts that lie inside. We felt as if we were living in tasteful country france with PARIS just outside the door. Yet, equipped with all the modern comforts and oozing comfortable elegance! Quality linens, comfortable beds and fresh towels, a lovely array of kitchen ware befitting this gracious home and host.

Situated on 3 floors, there are 2 huge beautiful bedrooms, another large welcoming office, 2 oversized lovely bathrooms (+tubs) on each floor and 3rd WC on ground level. A cozy living room and a large newly renovated kitchen fully equipped with high standard appliances + a large window facing the garden as one cooks. A cozy, elegant dining room with French doors opening onto the private garden. High ceilings, lots of windows and light! And in the morning, the sound of birds.

Francoise home has been lovingly maintained and renovated with many antiques! Family, tradition and many years living in this historic part of Paris, makes the host a perfect guide to the Butte-aux-Cailles.

We especially appreciated the numrous relaxed and affordable restaurants nearby. Bakeries galore, Monoprix and Carrefour along with specialty charcuterie, frequent morning markets, etc etc... no shortage of good, fresh food at walking distance. Bus 27 at Place Italie stops at market Rue Mouffetard.

As advertised this is A PRIVATE garden in Paris!!! With the sound of birds in the early morning. In keeping with everything here, beautiful! Not to be missed IF you are the lucky persons to nab it.
