Me and my friend stayed in Antoine's apartment 13 days. We already knew the neighborhood, so we didn't be surprised. Even it might look dangerous it wasn't. The location of the apartment is great, very close to several metro stations, markets, cafes at Saint-Martin, etc. The building was clean, new and the caretaker was very polite and helpful. The apartment mostly fulfilled our expectations and needs, although it was full of Antoine's stuff and it was difficult for two women to settle in limited spare space. We had two problems, first was a canalization's smell from bathroom, which appeared after the rain or sometimes in the evening. We dealt with this keeping windows open during the entire day, and it worked. The second problem is uncomfortable bad. In fact, the flat doesn't have regular bad, but mattress put on the pallets. This was too, too uncomfortable and painful for sleeping, but the advantage is that couch it can be used for sleeping. Antoine was always available and very forthcoming to answer to all our issues and questions.
