We had a very nice experience staying at Michele's place. The location is quite convenient since it is near Blanche metro station, which can take you to Gare du Nord pretty quickly. However it requires a little uphill walking, but just a short distance. Michele is a great host which is very responsive to messages, and the service she uses for self-check in and check out is pretty convenient for us to actively schedule our arrival and departure. We stayed here for 5 days and overall it is a nice experience for us.
