Marie is a lovely host and communicates quickly to any questions and will greet you on arrival. The flat is in a large block on the 10th floor with 3 layers of security and has wonderful views across to the Sacre Cœur. Whilst the area of Marx Dormoy is excellent for the Metro line 12, it is not an area to explore or be out at night. There are plenty of local supermarkets and boulangerie. If you are arriving from Gare de Nord, we recommend you getting the 38 bus or pick up a taxi rather than walking. You will need tickets from the Metro station for the bus. It runs every 4-6 mins. The flat is clean and functional. The shower is excellent although the plumbing is not great so you will need a plunger for the kitchen as the water does not drain away, which is provided. Overall the apartment's location for Paris hotpots, view and the host's service are great.
