AMAZING!!!
What a wonderful hideaway in the centre of it all! We honestly could not have wished for anything better. When we first arrived, I was a little hesitant of the area & thought we could have perhaps been closer central Paris, but after a couple of days we realized just what a 'Gem' we had stumbled upon. Oasis definitely describes Heide's home perfectly - it is in the heart of the most wonderful area, surrounded by such diversity. The pub on the corner, the restaurant at the end of the street, the wine bar and others Heide had recommended were all terrific and so cheap (10E for 2 courses). By the end of our 5 week stay, we felt like locals, being waved and spoken to by so many friendly and kind people. My very little knowledge of the French language got us by as everyone in the area tried so hard and managed to converse beautifully. The Metro is such a short distance, also so many busses pass the area & the supermarket etc are virtually at your door. We were lucky enough to meet Heide & had lunch & a few drinks (could have drank all night) - what an interesting, vibrant lady with a wonderful sense of humour, all of which shows in the decor of her lovely, bright home. 5 STARS!!!!!
