Ana was an amazing host. Ana had the apartment freshly cleaned and stocked up with the minor item I need just before I arrived and she waited for me personally when I checked in and showed me around the apartment and the neighborhood. She was exceptionally very accommodating especially when I needed to extend my stay due to changes in my travel plans.
About the Apartment:
The apartment layout is stylish and modern and equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable 3 week stay. The loaf which was laid out with the entry foyer, the living/ dining, kitchenette and bathroom on the lower floor and the large bedroom with spacious closet space on the upper floor made it very cozy and homely. The apartment is set up with sufficient natural light and cross ventilation. What I like best is that the apartment is situated away from the Main Street so you don't get to hear the noise from the traffic.
About the neighborhood:
Everything that you need from restaurants, supermarkets, parks, cellphone stores (very useful when you need to reload your cellphone), bars, pharmacy and even hair saloons are in a 10 minute walking radius. Gare De I'Est (which connects you to line 4 and 7) is less then 5 minutes walk away. Gare De Nord which connects you to the airport is about a 10 minute walk.
Minus points:
1) If you dislike going up and down the stairs to get to your bedroom, then this apartment will not suit you
2) It gets a little noisy on weekday mornings when the neighbor's living upstairs are leaving their homes for work as you can hear their doors closing and hear them walking down the stairs
Overall Review:
I really enjoyed staying here and this place made my stay in Paris very memorable. I will strongly recommend this place to anyone who wants to live in the 10th District and I will surely come back!
