You cannot get a better place in Paris if you are looking for THE typical Paris way of life. You actually stay at someone's home (and not in an airbnb-rent-only apartment) and you get fully immersed in everything genuinely french. The fantastic artist atelier refurbished into a creative home, the neighborhood with its local joints, walking distance to Bastille, a few stops to Gare du Nord. You are in the living heart of Paris. And Gino and Elena are going out of their way to be available and give you the best insider tips for your stay. Enjoy!!!
