Francks flat is large, clean*, furnished with great and personal care & taste and is well equipped for convenient daily life. There are a lot of thoughtful interior details, interesting plan solutions and a lot of natural light. Generous social spaces and many bedrooms. Location is good, on a side street within easy walking distance of Gare de Lyon, Bastille, Marais neighbourhood and other sights. Unfortunately, the communal spaces smelled of tobacco smoke which only partially went away with airing and anti-tobacco candles and the downstairs bedrooms were very cold. Franck was a faultless host; responsive & pleasant and was gracious to extend our checkout time to suit our evening departures.
