My boyfriend and I stayed in the apartment for three nights and it couldn't have been more perfect! The apartment is just as cosy and clean as it looks in the pictures. It was equipped with everything we could have possibly needed, especially useful were the maps of Paris and the metro system. It is in a really nice area, literally only a two minute walk from a metro station and it only takes about 10 minutes into the center of Paris. Hilal was very friendly and helpful, although we only met him very briefly as we were leaving, we were able to communicate with him via text - him and Malika were away when we arrived and we were let in by a relative instead. All in all, I really recommend staying at Hilal and Malika's place. In only four days we fell head over heels in love with Paris and felt very much at home. We hope to be back soon!
