Juliette's place is a wonderful gem in a fantastic, slightly off the beaten path, neighborhood. You are a 4 minute walk to the Pyreenes 11 line station which can get you down to central Paris in about 15 minutes. We loved being out for the day and then coming back to this authentically Parisian neighborhood. The apartment itself is small, but spread over two floors there was plenty of space for our small family (two bedrooms upstairs). The bathroom is tiny, but certainly was not an issue. You enter through a courtyard which is a nice touch.
As for the neighborhood we could not recommend it more. Though we did not take advantage of the bars in the area, there were a bunch of fun spots both down the street and around the corner (around Place des Grandes Rigoles). And not a tourist to be found. Parc Belleville, two blocks away, has a beautiful overlook and a small playground at the bottom. Our favorite though was packing a picnic, walking through the Jourdain neighborhood, and ending up at Parc Buttes Chaumont, about a 12-15 minute walk away. This is such a cool park. Pretty hilly, with a great view of the city from the temple structure on a little island in the park. There is also a cool art gallery, Le Plateau, close to the southside of the park.
Thank you Juliette for sharing your space and for introducing us to a great part of Paris!
