This place was just about perfect for us. The neighborhood was fun, not touristy, and had everything we needed, but the space itself was fairly secluded and quiet. It was close to the train for when we wanted to explore the city, and walking distance from Buttes Chaumont, Parc Belleville, and Pere Lachaise. Cilvy was a wonderful host and was there when we arrived to welcome us with treats and show us around. We were skeptical of the pull-out couch, but we slept incredibly well on it! The one slight issue was the shower - it really does get the whole bathroom floor wet no matter what you do. We ended up putting the bathmat outside the doorway so that we could dry our feet on the way out of the bathroom until it dried. Overall I would definitely recommend it and would stay here again if I got the chance!
