Issa was a wonderful host !! He came to Gare du Nord to collect us and took us to the apartment.
The apartment was as shown in the pictures.. though with two small energetic children, the space was just about enough..
Knowing we had kids, the hosts ensured that there were toys and some juice around. The kitchen was pretty well stocked.
Location is good, quite close to a couple of metro stations. Issa also came back early morning and dropped us off at Gare du Est from which we needed to catch our return train, he also gave us some maps and pointed out the metro stations and major tourist places.

A good place and definitely recommendable..
& thanks to Issa for all the support!! :)
