The place is less than 10 minutes walk from Gare de l’Est in the 10th arrondissement of Paris known for its vibrant ambiance. At the same time, the bedrooms are not facing the street and the windows in the living room have excellent soundproofing. There is one double and one single bedroom with an option of an extra mattress to accommodate second person if necessary. The place is cosy and makes you feel homey. There are many interesting books all over. While we did not have a chance to meet Julie in person she was an attentive and responsive host. Overall, everything went on well. The only thing that drew our attention was a mild but specific smell coming from the gas water heater next to the entrance door. It may be completely safe, but the smell was still slightly alerting. On the whole, of course, that was a very minor detail. We are grateful for Julie’s hospitality and highly recommend this listing.
