Our trip to Tania's apartment was really, really great. We immediately felt at home - you can tell this place has had a lot of thought and attention put into it. Small things - like nice lighting and coffee cups, large windows with red flowers to look at, easy-to-use coffee machine...It is also in a great part of Paris: on a quiet street in a neighbourhood close to the bastille, with bakery and shops nearby. We walked to Pompideau in half an hour, to get to gare du nord was just under twenty five minutes door to door. Also the canal starts nearby (we recommend the boat tour), and the promenade plantee (old railway line which has been converted into a linear park) for a lazy Sunday walk. We did not meet Tania but all communication indicated she is a very friendly host.
