Despite my flight being delayed and my mobile unexpectedly not being able to make calls in France to let my hosts know of my late arrival, Aline & Pierre managed to call me and make arrangements whilst I was on the train from the airport for me to pick up the keys from a neighbour.
They are a lovely welcoming family and my room with its own private bathroom gave me my own space within a safe environment.
The house is in a tiny street of 6 gated garden villas. It has a beautiful walled/gated garden of its own, in which I was able to relax (and have the odd cigarette!) in.
It is 5 mins walk from the metro at Telegraphe, which at first seemed far from the centre, however it is a great walk into the city centre via Rue de Ménilmontant. This place is a sanctuary of peace and retreat withing the busy bustling city of Paris.
I was made very welcome, given my own space, privacy and keys to come and go as I liked. I would highly recommend staying here if you want a bit of peace and space. Aline & Pierre were the perfect hosts in that they were there to help when asked, but left me to my own devices.
Excellent place to stay.
