Loved Paris, loved Annick's flat, loved Annick. The flat is conveniently located right around the corner from the metro station (1 min walk). There is plenty to enjoy in the neighborhood (such as the Canal St. Martin area and lots of shops, cafes and restaurants) while the immediate area around the flat is more peaceful, which I always found to be a relief after a day spent rubbing elbows with other tourists in the more crowded areas of the city. The building is tucked away on a side street, away from major car/pedestrian traffic. The room is spacious and very charming - plenty of space to spread out and relax (includes comfy seating), enjoy a book or some music. The bed was really comfortable. The common space consists of the kitchen and eating area and is bright and open. Annick was a great host - so kind and generous, and easy to talk to. She was always checking to make sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed. She provides her guests with a list of recommended restaurants, sights and shops, which I came to rely on almost as much as my guidebook. You can tell she loves her city and knows it well; her suggestions were always spot-on, and she was familiar with all the places I asked her about after hearing about elsewhere. Even if she was on her way to bed she would take the time to pull out a map, or find an address online. Thank you for a lovely stay!
