My boyfriend and I are both graduate students from the US and we wanted to visit Paris for a week. Francoise's apartment was the perfect place for our stay. It was only a few minutes walk from the metro and was very close to Bastille, which has some great nightlife. All in all it was a great location since it was central to easy to get to everything we wished to visit but also far enough away from the hoards of tourists. Francoise was very helpful by sending us detailed directions to get from the airport to her place. Her son welcomed us and was very helpful. The apartment is very clean and was a great space. The only con to this place is that it is on the 6th floor and there is no lift in the building. Nevertheless, we really enjoyed our stay will be glad to book with Francoise for our next Paris getaway.
