We had a wonderful stay! We wanted to see how Parisians live away from the touristy areas. We enjoyed walking through the neighborhood and found many wonderful neighborhood stores and cafes. We would recommend a cafe called Au Coin, right around the corner. It is a small cafe where the owner is the chef. The tables were filled with locals, the food and wine were amazing and the prices were very reasonable. We felt safe walking the neighborhood no matter what the hour, including one night when we arrived back to the apartment after midnight. There is a grocery store close by and the recommendation of Mamas Kitchen did not disappoint! The food was delicious and portions were generous. We had enough for 2 meals from one order. There is a bus stop within a 5 minute walk that made for an easy commute to the metro. We had no problem getting to all of the sites we wanted to see, The Louvre, Sacre-Couer, and Notre Dame to name a few. Linda’s place was perfect, it was very clean and had all the amenities we needed. We enjoyed having breakfast in the morning then wine and dessert at night on her balcony! She was very responsive to any questions we had! We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend this gem!
