Nathalie's home is lovely, with a good shower and lots of great books to read. It's right next to metro line 7 which takes you directly to the Louvre, and is by the Canal St Martin. There's a couple of supermarkets and a couple of great patisserie/boulangeries practically next door, and on Sunday there's a produce market at the end of the street. There's also a coffee machine in the apartment, and Nathalie kindly gave us her recipe for crepes, to save us buying them. :-)
