What a treat it was to stay in this huge Paris loft! I almost don't want to review it because I want it to stay a secret! Thu-Trang and Bertrand have done an amazing job decorating this apartment, and we felt so lucky to have such a huge private terrace in Paris! Thank you Thu-Trang and Bertrand for sharing it with us!

If you are ready to get away from the touristy areas of Paris and get to know the "real" Paris, this is the place for you. It is less than a block from the beautiful Buttes Chaumont Park, which is an absolute gem, and about a 10 minute walk to Canal St. Martin. The neighborhood is safe, there is a supermarket around the corner, and cafes and places to eat within walking distance. My daughter and I felt safe walking around the neighborhood at night. One metro line is a 2 minute walk, and another metro line is a 10 minute walk. (If you use the Buttes Chaumont station, be sure to use the elevator - it has way too many steps!)

Having rented several very small studios in the past in Paris in more "touristy" areas, we felt so lucky to be staying in Thu-Trang and Bertrand's spacious and beautiful place.

Thu-Trang was a very good communicator with us both before and during our stay, and both she and Bertrand were available by phone during our stay to field any questions and issues.

We would love to stay here again!
