In short, Francoise's place was lovely. Her cute place feels like the epitome of a Parisian nook as Francoise has an eye for comfortable and beautiful interiors. As the listing name suggests, you are very independent when you stay here- which is really nice after a long day of exploring Paris. The bathroom isn't shared as well, which is nice. Another thing I appreciate about staying here was Francoise's attention to detail. Not only did she create a physical binder of information and her personal recommendations but she also left little cups, bowls, and plates along with some tea and instant coffee which was greatly appreciated in the mornings that we were in a rush. I felt very safe in this neighborhood as a young woman and I enjoyed exploring the area in the evening, which has a couple of bars a short distance away. Her place is also very close to the metro which made things very convenient. I will absolutely come back here next time I come to Paris.
