Annie was a wonderful hostess and immediately made me feel right at home and welcome in Paris & Belleville. We had many a memorable discussion over breakfast of delicious breads & confitures, tea & coffee. The room was quiet and calm, and I found it a good place to work in the evenings. But there was also plenty of opportunity to have a night out in the area, great restaurants & bars just blocks away on Annie’s street. Annie has excellent recommendations for local places to eat and drink in the area and for exhibitions, plays, museums etc further afield. All told I had just a wonderful time there and would recommend staying with Annie very highly.
