Tarek was not available on our arrival, but his mom was there to meet us and show us around the apartment. It is spacious, homey and basically has everything you need for a couple of days of stay. There are nearby relatively cheap cafes and local restaurants around, so best to walk around and explore the area too. Its proximity to Stalingrad metro station makes it ideal if you want to go around Paris. Tarek is quick to answer any queries or concerns if you have any.
