We absolutely loved Pascale's home. It is in the 10th arrondisement, a block away from the Canal St. Martin, and it is a fantastic neighborhood. There is every type of food store you'd possibly need within walking distance, the patisserie, boulangerie, fromagerie, boucherie, poissonerie, everything! And the Franprix supermaket is right across the street with a fresh press orange juice machine.
The apartment is very efficient with everything you need for your stay. A fully functional, small kitchen, a washing machine and a dishwasher, a pleasant dining area, comfy living room, two bedrooms upstairs and one down, and a lovely little patio where you can enjoy your morning coffee. A cautionary note; the two staircases in the apartment are exceedingly steep in a style we had never encountered before, escalier japonais. It took us a while to get used to them but after a day or two, we did just fine. However, if you're traveling with an elderly or disabled person, you should be aware of this.
Pascale is an excellent host, very communicative and accommodating. She touched base with us during our stay just to make sure everything was going well and gave us very helpful hints to help us cope with the heatwave we were enduring.
The neighborhood has a plethora of restaurants, including three very good ones right on the block. It is a diverse area and the food establishments reflect this.
We encourage anyone visiting Paris to stay here. You'll be glad you did.
