Helene’s apartment was so lovely, homely and welcoming with a beautiful spiral staircase and old window shutters! There were some very nice local eateries close by, we had a lovely meal at Le Vaisseau Vert which you could see out the window, Helene was at the end of the phone when we were a bit confused on how to get into the building originally and has been very easy to communicate with!
Only down points are there are a lot of stairs up to the fifth floor and it’s a very very small shower! It’s quite far away from the main sights of Paris but we got the Tier scooters around and it wasn’t too bad.
