Whoever is looking for "the real" and "the authentic" Paris (away from the tourist simulacra of Montmartre etc) should consider this room. Staying in this flat will make you feel like a game character in a slick retrofuture RPG game. This is not a room in the Hilton, but who cares? The steampunk key alone is worth a picture. Other absolute point fort: the area. Porte Saint Denis is a buzzing multiethnic hub and probably one of the most interesting points to set your base camp for many flâneries. We did not have many occasions to hang out with Magda, but she is very friendly and moved heaven and earth to have the keys reach us before her arrival.
