Super stay! Unfortunately I didn't have the chance to meet the host, but Thomas was always available via text and very helpful with useful information. Very comfy and clean flat for those who want a glimpse of the real Parisian(ne) way of life. Top location with multiple metro lines all about 10 min walk away, and the mighty bus no. 96 at stones throw. You can easily be in the dead center in less than 30 min. But i spent most of my time just walking around the young hip neighborhood of the flat, which also boasts quiet green areas for nice strolls. I'm a female solo traveler and the area felt safe. Strong WiFi, nice hot shower, comfortable bed, and even the much talked about squat toilet in the corridor was clean and no big deal (however I'm from Japan where these toilets are quite normal...). A tip for vegetarians, don't miss the delicious Turkish(?) Kofta sandwich right in front of the apartment building. Thanks Thomas for the authentic excellent stay!
