Lorena’s place is a lovely “quirky” apartment. It’s a well adapted attic space which can be arranged with a number of sleeping areas (helpful for a family with teenagers). The view is incredible, and quite mesmerising to sit and watch. From this height above Paris, you can see The Eiffel Tower, Nôtre Dame, the Panthéon , the Sacre Cœur and out beyond the city. The area is great too. Lots of places to eat in Belleville a cool suburb and Ménilmontant, there’s also a coule of food markets in the local streets. Transport links to the Gare du Nord are easy and the 96 bus route goes into central Paris via a picturesque route of the city. Maybe not the best place to stay with young children as there are many stairs up to the flat, and ladder stairs once inside. But the host has lived here with young children so obviously it’s possible. Lorena was helpful and communicative throughout. Highly recommended. Thanks for having us.
