Franck's place was absolutely wonderful. It was such a pleasant experience that we returned at the end of our visit to stay again. His studio is charming, impeccably decorated, and immaculately clean. It is equipped with a fridge, a washing maching (!), a computer with wifi, and an enviable collection of classical music to boot. It is a climb to get to this apartment at the top of the building, but one glance out the two windows that reveal a stunning view of the rooftops of Paris and Sacre Coeur in the distance make it all worth it. I was worried that his fold-out couch might be uncomfortable, but it was fine and we slept great under the really soft comforter. Franck was completely available to help us and he gave us a thorough packet of information he compiled on the neighborhood, which is just lovely and full of hip, fun places to explore. The best bakery I have probably ever been to is just around the corner, and the nightlife is great. On Sundays, people crowd into the bar downstairs from him and sing songs together, and I thought that was a fantastic tradition. Franck was kind and generous, and we couldn't imagine having found a better place to stay in Paris!
