Anne's place has all the charm of an old artist's studio and expansive views over the roofs of northern Paris. It's located in a convenient neighborhood, which, although noisy, has great access to various sights, conveniences and transport. That said, the state of the rooms and balcony were on the shabby side of old, and some of the furnishings were broken and badly in need of some love and/or replacement. Although the bathroom and toilet were quite new, the sink was completely blocked and unusable. But if you're flexible about those things, you'll find the place quaint and full of great books on art, philosophy etc.
