We had a lovely time at Benedicte's place! It was an excellent base for a 10-day stay. The location is perfect and we found so much in the neighbourhood (book stores, record stores, bars, bakeries, supermarkets, parks etc). Goncourt metro is down the road, and Belleville and Republique are also very close-by. The apartment is beautiful and well decorated; the windows and plants made the place extra lovely. It is on the 6th floor with no elevator which wasn't a problem. The staircase is also nice - it's an old Parisian building. Would highly recommend and would love to stay there again.
