We loved Pénélope’s place. It's tiny, but very cozy and shared with a lot of care and love. The neighborhood is only about 5-10 min walk from the Marais, but don't overlook the local charms, which include an open air market (Marché d'Aligre) and elevated train track turned into an urban park. Wee also loved walking along the Seine, which is also nearby. And our host could not have been more helpful. She's great.
