I just spent a month at Anna's place and it was perfect for what I needed! I love this neighborhood and the location could not be beat. So close to the Marche d'Aligre, Ble Sucre (the best patisserie in Paris in my mind!), Les Provinces Boucherie/Resto (a MUST go) , several Metro Lines, the Coulee Verte, and Gare de Lyon (for easy access to airport and the rest of Paris). Great for one person with clean and comfy bed, large TV, and a working PHONE (that makes international phone calls). Thank you, Anna and Rebecca, who responded immediately to any questions I had!
