The place is cosy, very stylish and well equipped. It is near the Gare du Nord and l'Est (walking distance) and you have everything you need near by. You can also walk to Montmatre. The neigbourhood is culturally mixed and you can get everything from a Saree to african vegatable. Unfortunatly the road is a bit loud, but the host is providing ear plugs for light sleepers. The host is a very considerate person. She was making sure we had everything we need and she provided helpfull tips and suggestions. All in all a good place for a city trip to Paris.
