We had a great stay in this apartment. This is 'real' Paris rather than museum Paris. We didn't know anything about this area until we stayed and it suited us. It was an interesting part of the city - vibrant and multicultural. Only a ten minute walk to the metro and well served by buses too. Lots of cafes and restaurants and food shops. The apartment itself is really well thought out .. fantastic use of space .. high ceilings and interesting angles. A lot of care and thought has gone into it. It was clean and had everything we needed. It's on the fifth floor so it felt light and airy with pleasing views. Our host was very helpful and stayed in contact. Highly recommended.
