A group of 6 of us celebrated our friends 40th birthday in Paris and we stayed here. Stephanie the owner sent us so much information about how to get there, the area, restaurant s and bars and the house. We were able to book a restaurant in advance and due to her info we were able to get from the gare du nord to the house with complete ease. We took the bus there and ended up using it all over Paris as it was so easy to use. The area is great! You are in Paris but feel like you are also in a little French town. There are bars and restaurants nearby ( door step in fact). It was quite noisy but we were there when there was a fete on so it was to be expected and didn't bother us. The house is lovely. It's beautifully decorated. We had fresh bedding and towels. There was more than enough space for 6 of us. It was lovely to come back to after being in busy central Paris. It does take about 45 mins on the bus from the centre but the bus enables you to see Paris over ground which is really interesting. I would highly recommend this place. Thank you Stephanie.
