We stayed at Marie's AirBnb for a long weekend of exploring the city.
It was my husband's first time in Paris so we spent a lot of time walking and eating fresh bread and pastries!!

The area is what it is - we enjoyed the liveliness of it. Do you research based on which arrondissement you wish to stay in - we were very happy with the convenience as it is only 10-15mins walk from the Gare du Nord where the Eurostar gets in.

We also walked straight down the road to NotreDame in less than 30mins, which is excellent if you want to throw i some sightseeing. It only took 40mins all the way from Montmartre, too.

In terms of local eateries, we found several bakeries nearby, as well as several supermarkets and corner shops at a stone's throw. There is a fantastic Art Deco brasserie two streets down called Brasserie Julien - I had a lovely birthday dinner there (call ahead to book). For something fast and simple, Burger and Fries on the faubourg is delicious.

The room itself is a fantastic space, more of a studio than a room - seprate door so if you are looking for a bit of privacy during a weekend away, you can be fully independent. It has a separate loo and a nice shower, a microwave and small fridge on top of a kettle. The heating works well which was a godsend as there was a very bitter wind blowing all weekend.

We are definitely saving this address in our Little Black Book, we had a wonderful time, thank you!
