Hospitality was great. The flat is in a more diverse working class neighborhood than you would find closer to the city center. So it is a little quieter neighborhood. All the main amenities are 2 blocks- grocery store, good boulangerie, etc. it is a bit of a trek into the city center though. The walk to the Crimee metro is only about 7 minutes, but it could take 25-50 minutes total to get where you want to go in the city center. So running ‘home’ for a rest in the middle of the day is not an option if you are hitting the tourist sites hard - it could be an hour and a half round trip not including the rest time.
The flat is a great value. And Beatriz and her friend Daniela were very kind and helpful as hosts. And the canal area is a fun part of Paris that most tourists don’t experience, just a short walk past the Crimée station. Simonetta restaurant was our family favorite.
