This is a wonderful place to stay . The flat is light and in a lovely street . It is not in a touristy area so it is a real plus as you really feel part of the Parisian way of life . Then you can just hop on the metro and go wherever . The metro I used was Alessa ( 20mins from from gard du nord on line 4 ) as you exit the metro there is a sign for r moulin vert ) do go this way as the street is charming and a lovely walk . Sylvie is a great host and is just a good person so this vibe is a real plus when staying in a flat that belongs to somebody . I highly recommend this flat and the location and really enjoyed my stay . Thank you Sylvie I would like to return at some stage .
