Hugues’ place is great for many reasons. It’s convenient to the Metro. Transfer is very easy from Gare du Nord and Hugues was at the apartment to check me in and orient me to the neighborhood. There is a beautiful park just across the street and plenty of restaurants and food stores nearby.
The place is small, but very efficient and very clean with a comfortable fold out bed and a great shower.
It’s also very safe, with a security door off the Main Street.
This is a great way to experience a real French neighborhood away from the tourist crowds of Paris
