Mireille's place is an unconventional apartment just in the middle of everything close to the heart of the city. Several metro stations (Line 2, 9, 3, 6) are just a few min walk and you can find supermarkets, restaurants, cafés, boulangeries...or anything you'd need just next door. The area is lively and during the weekend and one of the favorite Parisians' spot, Canal St Martin, is just a couple of blocks away. Mireille is a wonderful and deeply cultured woman, always ready to help, give suggestions, make you feel at home. The amount of books stocked in the house says enough about her life and cultural richness. We had the occasion to share our thoughts and tell each other about our lives, it was really more than just renting a room.
About the room itself, it is actually 2 small rooms with a single bed divided by a bathroom (shower, sink, refrigerator). You need to love pitched roofs though with the charm they can have. Toilet and kitchen are shared and Mireille always does her best to make you feel comfortable. I'd definitely recommend her place for at least 3 reasons: the apartment itself, the host and the beautiful area.
Merci beacoup et à bientôt!
