Like everyone else who has stayed here, I loved the combination of quirky and comfortable in Val's flat. The space is amazing for Paris, and the big windows look out onto greenery, but are not overlooked by anyone else. It's very quiet here and, unusually for me, I slept late most mornings. The mattress on the mezzazine is very comfortable. There are plenty of shops and eateries 2 minutes away on the Faubourg Saint-Martin. Owing to the transport strike I couldn't make full use of the area's excellent metro links, but when it was running line 7 offered particularly good connections to the centre and on to the botanic gardens. Warmly recommended!
