What a magical discovery! Set off the street in a quiet little nook, I felt like I had found the Paris that only locals truly get to know. Charming. Stylish. The view is stunning. Benoit and Julie are both accomplished, creative people and it shows in every inch of their home.
The metro from here gets you to the main tourists sights very quickly, but the neighborhood, Belleville, is an eclectic mix with great food and culture - one of the city's latest hot spots for residents, and now I understand why.
So if you crave to live like a real Parisian (actually, probably a bit better than most), then I highly recommend this place. I feel so lucky that I found it!
