A girlfriend recommended Diane's BnB in Paris. One of the first things I looked for was proximity to the major sights, and that turned out to be pretty good! We walked from Gare du Nord to the apartment and were delighted by Diane's kindness and hospitality.

Next came the 'show-around' to the different rooms and spaces in the house. And there is a lot of space! The second floor feels a bit like a greenery, lots of light, with an entrance to a large outdoor patio, which feels rustic with an exotic touch because of the foliage and asian statues lightly scattered around.

And yes, the views are great. You can see landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower and Sacre Coeur, but also endless rooftops connected with one another.

If you like to step away from the hotel-feel and exchange it for some local hospitality, you seriously may want to consider staying here. We loved it!
