Our stay at Samuel's place was great. Samuel was very responsive whenever we needed any info. The apartment is located across the road from a metro station with 2 different lines (but no noise with the windows closed), which is very handy to get around, and it's just 2 stops away from gare du nord, for those arriving by eurostar. It's also basically on the canal, which is a beautiful place to stroll along. The only things we thought could improve were the bed, which was not very comfortable (sagging mattress), and the shower/bathroom. Whenever we showered, it would make the whole bathroom floor wet. We also couldn't find a bin in the apartment, so we improvised a few plastic bags and threw them away before leaving. But overall, the experience was great.
