My experience definitely exceeded all expectations. Shadia's place is the perfect spot for those in Paris for work/holiday. As a solo traveller, I found the location and the accommodation perfectly safe. It's a very vibrant neighborhood, with plenty of options for food and drinks. It's a stone's throw away from the metro line as well. Although I did not get to meet Shadia, she was always available to answer my queries and help out with the smallest of needs. Highly recommend!
