I can thoroughly recommend François’s apartment. It’s clean, cosy well equipped and tastefully decorated. Francois is a really interesting and friendly guy and knows the area well. Stalingrad ( the nearest metro) is super convenient for heading to the centre of Paris and the 10pms arrondissement is a really cool part of Paris, with great restaurants and bars. It’s about 100 metres from the canal l’orque, which also has some great bars along its banks and a big cinema just there. You won’t be disappointed. Next time I’m in Paris I will look for François’s place again, but it’s likely to book up fast.
