Comfortable, spacious 5th story apartment, located on a busy and lively street, but quiet as it is located away from the street looking onto a courtyard. Within 5-8 minutes of two metro stations (we primarily used the Strasbourg Saint-Denis station which has more connecting lines). A small market (Franprix), and a washateria on the same street were very convenient. Had fresh baguettes and croissants in the mornings from the nearby boulangeries. We made good use of the Nespresso coffee machine. Numerous ethnic restaurants and cafes are conveniently located. (Definitely try Mardin Soup house on Rue de Faubourg Saint-Denis, especially if you are coming home on a cold night, like we did returning from an evening Seine boat tour).
There were some minor issues that we brought to the host’s attention; the hosts were quick to respond to our messages and inquiries.
