Thank you Irina and Philippe for your hospitality, we enjoyed our stay.

Clean apartment, at a very reasonable price located with easy access to many attractions (30 min walking distance to the Louvre). Very good size for Paris and can easily accommodate 7 people.
The apartment building however, was pretty run down.
It is located on Faubourgh Saint-Denis in the 10th arrondissement, which is one of Paris's most ethnic neighbourhoods and home to large numbers of Indians, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, West Indians, Africans, and Turks.
It was a vibrant street full shops (coffee shops, butcher shops, grocery stores, pharmacies, bistros etc ) and a great place to eat middle eastern, Indian and Pakistani food. The down side unfortunately was lots of beggars on the street and it didn't feel like the safest part of the city to be in,especially a night.
