Ayumi & Nicolas' apartment is set in a lovely courtyard and sunlight streams through the windows into the kitchen - such a delightful place to have breakfast. Our boys loved the pull down bed which makes it into a very comfortable two bedroom apartment. Situated very close to Chateau Rougue and Barbes metros, it is a lively street with the excellent 360 restaurant which Nicolas recommended a few yards from the front door - great food and live music - we had such fun dining there and met lots of entertaining characters. It is also only a 20 min walk to Canal St Martin where we hooked up with old friends. I was delighted to discover an APC surplus store a couple of minutes walk from the apartment, so I got my fashion fix too. All in all a wonderful experience.
