my two compatriots & i couldn't have asked for a better flat or a better host than noemie. she ensured that we were kept informed about everything before & during our stay - & even provided us with insider tips about her neighbourhood. this instilled so much calm & confidence in us. when we arrived, everything went smoothly with the concierge & we easily found our feet in the quartier. the 11th is perfect & fast became a favourite. it's so near to everything that we rarely took the metro. there were brilliant restaurants & entertainment (clubs, the arts, etc.) within 1/2 hour on foot - including the brilliant sol semilla, eastside burgers & (within five minutes' walk) tien hiang. i cannot rave too highly about the centre pompidou - one of noemie's suggestions - which is also easily accessible on foot!
the flat was the perfect place to unwind & ready ourselves to hit the streets again. as the description says, the courtyard is exceptionally peaceful. in fact, the only time we heard anything was during nuit blanche - & that was to be expected. the shower is brilliant & the flat is well-equipped. there's no telly, but you won't need it!
i hope to stay here again when i next visit paris. i know that i'll be in good hands. thanks, noemie! :)
