Alice’s place is in the heart of the trendy 11e. The neighbourhood is really vibrant and I felt like we were getting a genuine Parisian experience that we’d not have had in the more touristy areas like 3e, 6e and 8e.
Within walking distance are desirable foodie restaurants (Septime, Clown Bar) and plenty of local bistros. There’s lots of great local food stores for all of my French holiday food wishlist - beautiful cheeses, charcuterie, patisserie and viennoiserie.
Its 2 mins walk to a metro and on a direct bus route from Gare du Nord for anyone heading from across the channel.
The apartment itself is as charming as the pictures suggest. In addition to being well maintained and well equipped we loved the tastefully decorated rooms, the character of the period fireplaces and the view over the rooftops. The bedroom was away from the street therefore super quiet and the bed super comfy.
Alice is a friendly and courteous host. I would defiantly stay again.
