I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly I felt at home in this atypical place, and how it made my whole trip atypical. I felt like a local more than a tourist, which was very important to me. The flat itself has a lovely story, and is located in a street with a lovely story. The Porte of Saint-Denis welcomes the travellers, and it feels special yet. It's like France's rich history and art is just at the door. The appartment is independent, a bit apart from the street. Its calm definitely feels right after a day of intense exploration of the city, where everything is so fast, animated and noisy the day! I was afraid that the summer nights in Paris would be too hot, but the stone wall in the bedroom and the possibility to create a draught made them smooth. Speaking of night, I slept really well and enjoyed the natural light from the window ceiling in the morning. Not only the flat was charming, but its location was really helpful. It's near a metro station, which makes the access to the special places of Paris very easy.
I'd definitely come back !
Merci pour tout ! :-)
