Charlottes quirky flat is in a great area - cobbled lanes, art galleries, some very good cafes and a large supermarket. Close to Metro, tram and bus, including a very convenient bus (no 26) that goes direct to Gare du Nord, avoiding all the steps and walking of the Metro. Also very close to Pere Lachaise cemetery, which was a fabulous place to wander around. We found the futon mattress on the floor very hard and had to pad it with a spare quilt which only helped a bit, but then we like soft beds. Not having anywhere to keep our things, except on the floor was a bit of a nuisance, but otherwise we enjoyed our stay. We were told we could use anything in the kitchen, replacing as necessary, which was very generous. Sitting in the courtyard to regroup with a drink at the end of the day was charming. Thanks Charlotte.
