Fionnuala's place is amazing! We did a 3-month trip all over Europe and had stayed at air BnBs the entire time, including 3 others in Paris, and this one is simply the best!
Book this place before she puts the price up! Because right now it's so cheap and the value is unmatched. The description makes it sound like a little shoebox, but there's actually a lot of space. We had a bedroom and double bed each to ourselves, a balcony and living room-- everything. Her place really is lovely and we enjoyed her small, yet excellent collection of books in English.
There are lots of bars, super markets, and cafes around. It's not the best neighbourhood ever, but the metro is close and you can get anywhere from there.
I really can't recommend this place enough. Best Air BnB and best value.
