My husband and I stayed here and it was absolutely perfect for us, particularly the location! We Didn't want to be near the touristy areas, but it was also so easy to get to Paris center.... the neighborhood gave us the real local feeling. Plus, lots of fabulous restaurants, bars and great boutique clothing shops. You're truly living like a local when staying at Francesca's apartment. She's also a fabulous host and even made us a reservation at a nearby restaurant, which was very difficult to get into. Lastly, the view is a steal and makes this place a great deal!
