I had a lovely 8-day stay at Francois' place. It's near several metro stops as well as a small Franprix for simple groceries. Although the foyer shows its age, the apartment is thoroughly and tastefully updated and has what you need for a pleasant stay. The bedroom is in the back so no street noise, although there was very little of it anyway. Plenty warm during a Paris cold snap and the shower is great! Thank you, Francois!
