I stayed in Francoise's apartment for one and a half month, while studying french in the Paris with a friend. The apartment was absolutely perfect and met all the need two young girls going to paris could possibly have. The area is very nice and close to a few of the more new and hip areas for going out, on Oberkampf, and of course dining and shopping in the Marais. You can feel that the area is in it's period of blossoming and we felt very safe.
Our host was amazing. Both her and her husband made us feel most welcome from the start and were ready to help out all the way through the stay.
The apartment in it self is very charming with its small balconies and its very french decor, which is most of the charm. It's much larger than you get the feel of on the pictures, and is very nicely renovated with a nice new bathroom etc.
Just around the corner you can find all you need in grocery-stores, bakeries and restaurants. Close by you can rent bikes, which is a nice and fun way to see Paris if you're in a hurry.

I must say that I've spent the summer of my life in this apartment and I have so many great memories. And I cannot make it clear enough that the host is the best I've ever had!

I will definitely recommend staying in this lovely apartment!!
