Delphine's apartment was the perfect base for a much longed-for return visit to Paris. Coffee in the morning and wine in the evening on that beautiful balcony with the incredible view of Sacre Coeur bookended my days beautifully.
The apartment had everything I needed and was a lovely thoughtfully-designed space. Although it's a studio, the space is divided up with nice touches so you don't feel like you're just in one room. Climbing the stairs to the 5th flr isn't as much of an ordeal as you might expect either- you get used to it quickly.
I loved the "realness" of the area, the feeling that people from all walks of life lived there. Fantastic transport connections and within walking distance of great neighbourhoods like Montmartre and Canal Saint Martin.
Delphine herself couldn't have been a lovelier host, allowing me to check in early and offering great tips about bars and restaurants in the vicinity. A lot of her own photography is on the walls - I liked it so much, I bought one of her books!
Recommended without hesitation.
