Karine was very helpful while checking us in and showed us around the apartment. She was very helpful in giving us a lot of information about the neighborhood restaurants and other tourist landmarks in Paris. The apartment location was convenient as it is close to Parid Nord station, but the neighborhood was little shady. If I visit Paris again , I would not stay in that neighborhood (but Karine's apartment was well secured with two doors and a keyless secured entry).Other drawback was carrying the luggage all the way to 5th floor with out an elevator. The spare room didn't have a door just a curtain and no microwave in the apartment ( Karine warned us about all this before we booked the apartment). Over all I would give 5 out of 5 for the host and only 3 out of 5 for the apartment.
