What a great trip! Julie is a very responsive and thoughful host. We loved every minute we spent at the wonderful apartment, wich was perfectly decorated for christmas. The apt. is located just next to all sorts of shops (try the fruit/vegetable store just down the street) and plenty of restaurants, breakfast bars and cocktail/wine bars. From the metro station 'charonne' everything is easily accessible. We loved our stay and will definitely be back! :)
