We stayed at Benoit’s appartment with our 3 teenage daughters and had a great time. The apartment is quirky and stylish and certainly not the usual IKEA clad Airbnb and has all the amenities we needed. The area is very busy and the heart of the West African community’s shopping and food markets so great for a wig or weave and every kind of African vegetable and spice! There is also a great boulangerie next door and a Carrfour supermarket 5 minute walk away for the more timid palette. Chateau Rouge metro station is a 2 minute walk away so you can be in the centre of Paris very easily and quickly or Sacre Coeur was about 15-20 minutes walk. Benoit gave us directions for a parking garage 10 minutes walk away on Rue Custine where we left the car for the weekend, there’s also quite few nice places for a drink or a bite around there too, we liked Le Gabin!
