I felt right at home in this cosy and beautiful place. The inspiring ambiance of the owner is around (books etc), but the place is still tidy enough to be a blank canvas for a stay. Lena has contacted me a few times during the stay for details and is committed to the stay. Good to mention is the absolute silence here, even in daytime, mostly because the house is situated in a charming courtyard. Shops and bars are around the corner (a 3 minute walk to rue de Belleville), a great local neighbourhood which adds to the feel of being at home. The only downside was the toilet could be a little cold at night (as mentioned in the advertisement!) but nothing disturbing really. I was a Parisian for a week and would love to stay again!
