Total dream. Frances reeeeally goes above and beyond to take care of you. I ran into some obstacles upon my arrival, and Frances treated me like a sister. Honestly, staying at her place is like family letting you crash at their pad during a holiday. The apartment is spotless and has literally everything you need. Location is great, Le Marais has literally everything you need just a stones throw away. You can make it pretty much everywhere walking (especially warmer months) but even the subway is super close plus you’ll have access to buses, taxis, and there’s always Uber! Restaurants are everywhere along with specialty shops (for all budgets). Thanks to Frances’ suggestion - I landed a cute vintage top for just 15€. She provided every possible thing I could imagine wanting to do. She shared the best restaurants and what they were known for, vintage shops (all of them), and a full detailed list of how to get to her place with two separate options. Her place is very safe and the building itself is beautiful. Her apartment is great for taking photos to remember your stay!
I honestly can’t get over how warm and kind she was - It would be a mistake to stay anywhere else! If her place is available, don’t hesitate - just book it. You’ll be doing yourself the greatest favor :) I’ve visited Paris a few times, and Frances really made my trip that much more enjoyable.
