We have really enjoyed our stay at Maude's place. She was very friendly and welcoming. She left a bottle of wine for us, and there was lots of tips and recommended places left by her. The place was clean and tidy, and had everything we needed. We also really enjoyed spending time on the balcony. The area is safe, with lots of shops, bars and restaurants. It is very close to the beautiful Parc des Buttes Chaumont, and the Canal St Martin. We walked by the canal from there to Central Paris, and it was really pleasant. It is also very conveniently located if you arrive in Gare du Nord, as it is only 4 stops away. Would definitely check if available again when I go back to Paris :)
