Great apartment and host! We met Cecilia and talked with her a bit. She's very friendly and sweet. Just a lovely host. It was so nice of her to allow us to leave our luggage while she got the apartment ready between guests.
Make sure to get the codes for the doors right away and maybe have Cecilia show you how all that works. We got there before Cecilia did, and some friendly residents let us in, so we missed those initial instructions we would have gotten if we'd waited for her first.
Cecilia's place is really nice. I love all the art work on the walls, the colorful curtains and bed spread, and couches. It's a lovely apartment with hardwood floors, a tiny and cute WC, and separate shower room with great shower. There isn't a place to put clothes, so we just lived out of our backpacks.
We loved the tiny balcony for breakfast. The boulangerie on the corner has amazing pastries! There are restaurants nearby, and the Sacre Coeur neighborhood is up Rue Joseph de Maistre. Just keep walking up up up and you'll be in a very touristy neighborhood. It's nice that Cecilia's place is about a 15 min. walk from all the touristy crowds. The apartment was so nice to return to after our busy days walking around and taking the metro.
We were so happy to be traveling again during Covid year three and are grateful for hosts like Cecilia for opening their doors to us and also are thankful for the friendly people in Paris!
