It was a very comfortable stay at Piccarda's place. The room is walking distance away from 2 metro stations and 3 bus stops. So getting around Paris was easy. The room also has an independent door, so one can arrive and leave at their convenience. The room is small, clean and has a very comfortable bed. Unfortunately I was not able to meet Piccarda since my schedule was packed with activities. But she promptly replied to messages sent on Airbnb. It is a great place to stay if you want to be close to Gare du Nord which has a lot of public transport options.
