Thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Cristina's apartment in every aspect. Appreciated meeting her in person upon arrival to review functionality and rules, especially after an 11 hour flight. The apartment was extremely clean and well organized. She even had an umbrella and outlet converter available. There are written details on how to use all of the appliances, TV and even restaurant/grocery recommendations. Cristina kept in very good contact before, during and after my visit.
In terms of location, I very much enjoyed the 10th as it was extremely close to a major metro line and the canal. In terms of restaurants and cafes, the choices were unlimited and in very close proximity. In addition to several pharmacies and a grocery store on the same block. As an added bonus, the 10th is close to other districts (ie 2nd, 3rd, 11th) and therefore in walking distance. There is definitely a younger vibe feel to this area and not as touristic (which I very much enjoy).
Although the apartment is located on the ground level of a building off a busy street, you wouldn't know it as the space is cozy and extremely quiet.
I wouldn't hesitate recommending Cristina's apartment and look forward to returning.
