This is the archetypal Paris living experience - a compact studio but everything is there, from double bed to dining table, with well-equipped kitchen and a bathroom with a bath. The area is what first attracted me, Buttes aux Cailles is the genuine arty quartier; peaceful streets just a step away from the busy Place d'Italie, elegant graffiti, authentic restaurants and no other tourists in sight. Suzette is the ideal host, friendly, helpful and generous, providing a warm well-provisioned welcome and helpful guidance throughout.
