If you are lucky enough to secure a booking with with Frédérique, you are in for a treat. Her home is lovely and spacious, located in the very heart of Paris, and is both comfortable and romantic. The neighbourhood is quintessentially Parisian, as is the thrice-weekly market and the local bakery. We felt utterly at home, and I'm actually feeling a bit put out that I wasn't born a Parisian. Every convenience is close by, from the Metro line stop to the pharmacy. For a treat, try the nearby (as in 10 m down the street) Lilane Restaurant, which offers astoundingly good food for a fixed price of 35 euros. We were so impressed we dined there two nights running.
Would we return to Frédérique's? Are you kidding? We didn't want to leave.
