i was greeted by Mizrah who was friendly, helped with my luggage and let me in to the apartment. He answered all my questions about how things worked, where things were and gave me a great list of nearby restaurants.
It is a very roomy space, simply furnished, lots of light and has a lovely balcony that looks out on huge old trees and the Canal St. Martin. Sunny in the afternoon. The balcony is another room. I watched the world go by.
Restaurants, grocery stores, post office, pharmacies, bakeries, buses, metro, great walks along the Canal and THE best cheese shop on rue du Faubourg du Temple. When I badly hurt my knee Mizrah took me to the pharmacy and explained everything to the pharmacist. Thank you!
