We loved, loved , loved Suzette &Amy's little flat! We spent a little over a week in the charming Butte aux Cailles flat and we felt we could not have made a better choice for our second time in Paris.
Suzette's welcome was one of the best Airbnb experiences we have ever had . She arranged for someone to pick us up from the airport for a very convenient price and drive us straight to the door where she was waiting to greet us.
The flat is very well described as a 'romantic hideaway' , it is small but charming , very quaintly decorated with a lot of lovely details , it is equipped with everything that you might need and it is very clean.
Suzette had a bottle of wine and fresh bread and cheese waiting for us when we arrived . There were fresh flowers on the table and bits and pieces in the fridge for a lovely breakfast ( including croissants). She gave us a lot of very useful information on how to get around ad where to find the best shops and restaurants in the area. We were thoroughly impressed with such a warm welcome!
The Butte aux Cailles area is well worth exploring, it is a very charming neighbourhood with lots of nice cafes and restaurants and some very interesting street art, away from the tourist hoards yet extremely lively. But in case you have a limited time and want to get to the main sights there are excellent transport links very near by.
Oh , and you must absolutely do your shopping at the boulangerie in the corner of the street - according to Suzette it is the best in the neighbourhood and we certainly can't argue with that!
Thank you Suzette and Amy !
