We needed somewhere to stay for two nights close to the Gare de Lyon, and found this to be in a fairly quiet area with good cafes and restaurants nearby. The flat is next to 'La Coulee Verte', which is a green pathway on a disused railway viaduct, quiet and above the traffic, which runs towards Bastille. The restored brick arches of the viaduct house several galleries, upmarket furniture and kitchen equipment shops, and a good busy local restaraunt, which was recommended by Blandine, where we ate very reasonably one evening.
Blandine was a welcoming and generous host, and very helpful in suggesting local places of interest and destinations for our free day.
The flat was bright and very clean as in the pictures. Our room had a wash basin and shower room attached, and a comfortable bed. It was adjacent to the road, which was a bit noisy with the window open.
The location of the flat was great for us. On our free day we comfortably walked to the bustling Aligre market, Canal Saint Martin, Bastille, Marais, Pompidou Centre, Musee D'Orsay, Sacre Cour then Metro back to the flat, and experienced many different aspects of Paris from local neighbourhoods to busy tourist spots.
