The apartment was a great base from which to explore Paris. Was very handy being opposite the metro station. There is a lovely patisserie 100m away and the nearby canal is great at night time for food and drinks. It has a very lively feel.
We had detailed and accurate directions from the airport. We were greeted at the metro by Tarek's mum. She was very helpful showing us around the apartment, all in good english.
The apartment itself has a compact bathroom and kitchen, but adequate and well designed. The lounge and bedroom are a decent size. All very clean. There were extras such as bedding, iron, hair dryer etc. which was handy. There were hand annotated maps left in the apartment and some food and drink which was very much appreciated.
Bed was very comfy and there are electronic shutters on all windows which excellently cut out the light! Do remember ear plugs though if you are a light sleeper.
The apartment is in a very secure, quiet block, never saw any neighbours.
All in all a great place to stay and explore!
