I was hoping for a quintessentially French experience and host and I believe I got that at Samia's cozy and cute apartment. Samia is a very thorough, reliable and responsive host. The apartment is located in the very trendy and cool Oberkampf area and we'll connected to several metros relatively close by (6-10 mins.). A bus to Gare De Nord (connections to the airport) drops you off just below her apartment practically. It felt like a safe neighborhood as well. I liked Samia's sense of humour and in many ways, she is inspiring and generous. My only regret was to not experience her cooking, but there's always next time...Au Revoir!
