Florence was a most gracious host, very flexible with arrival and departing time - which we greatly appreciated - and her apartment is perfectly located to spend a few days in Paris. The neighbourhood of La Butte Aux Cailles is charming, with nice cobbled streets, lively atmosphere, restaurants and bars, and lovely little shops, away from the chaos of more touristy areas. The apartment is nice and quiet, as it is inside a court (also very charming). It is only a few minutes away from the underground and several bus lines pass in the area. The space is perfect for a couple. The building is agé, so sometimes in the evening we heard the people upstairs walk in their apartment, but nothing out of the ordinary and we were never bothered. I spent five days in the apartment with my mother and we loved it, we felt like real Parisians! Highly recommended.
