Lina’s apartment could not have been a better place to stay for a long weekend in Paris . The flat is achingly cool and beautifully decorated . The area is full of great bars and restaurants which appear to be exclusively frequented (ourselves excluded) by locals. Lina took time to send us innumerable recommendations which we did our best to work our way through . Had we stayed longer I would have return ed to London as broad as I am tall . The flat is only a short stroll to the Marais , the river and the canal . Highly recommended.
